How to be a implantation?

The anchoring of artificial tooth roots done in several steps:
In some cases, you must first leave the jaw bone to be strengthened (augmentation). This can be done by their own bone splinters from the jaw, chin or basins or artificial bone replacement materials are made. When so-called sinus lift the bottom of the maxillary sinus and raised the point at which the implant will be reinforced with bone material. As a result, the implants better grip. Then, one or more holes in the jaw bone drilled the implant (usually titanium, rare ceramics) and the mucous plug on the implant sews. The implant grows and connects to the jawbone. In the mandible, a healing time about three months, in the upper jaw up to six months. 
In a next step, the implant posts uncovered and the dentures on the artificial tooth root assembled. Question of crowns, bridges, partial or total prostheses. Potential complications are inflammations or bad invasion in the wound. Lacks of blood flow to the bone, early on stress,smoking or general diseases such as diabetes increase the risk that the implant does not a cure.
