00:00 - What are dental implants? Full mouth dental implants.
Dental implants are titanium screws... they are the little metal screws essentially, that are placed into the jawbone across the jaw to provide stability for the bridge of teeth that will sit on top.

00:28 - How long do dental implants take to heal?
We need to give the body about 6 months or so to fully integrate around each of those implants, and once they are solid and stable then we can add your permanent set of teeth on top.

00:43 - Dental implants alternatives
The other options of replacing a missing tooth is a denture which is a removable prothesis or having bridges done.

00:52 - Disadvantages of dental bridges, tooth implant vs dental bridge.
Bridges are fixed, but the disadvantage of bridges would include cutting and shaving the adjacent tooth to a smaller stump and then placing a fixed bridge. By opting for a dental implant, the patient can preserve the integrity of the adjacent teeth. By opting for an implant over a denture, the patient will have a fixed option as a replacement tooth instead of a denture which is quite removable and some times ill-fitting too.

01:07 - Dental implants vs dentures.
By opting for an implant over a denture, the patient will have a fixed option as a replacement tooth instead of a denture which is quite removable and some times ill-fitting too.

01:20 - Are dental implants removable? Dental implant removal
Dental implants allow patients to have fixed teeth, rather than a removable option. So with fixed teeth it's kind of the closest thing you can get to having your own teeth back again, whereas with dentures that's something that is removable.

01:57 - What material is best for dental implants, zirconia dental implants.
At EvoDental, we have always offered both a PMMA, which is an acrylic-resin option, or zirconia which is a porcelain option. Zirconia has become very popular at the moment, and there are some implant clinics that will only offer zirconia. We feel that probably isn't appropriate, because you have to take each patient on a case-by-case basis, everybody is unique, everybody has different factors that have to be taken into account.

02:50 - What are the advantages of zirconia implants, zirconia dental implants.
The advantages of zirconia is its a much stronger material and it can be more aesthetically pleasing. That is not saying polymer or PMMA are bad materials, zirconia has a slight edge over polymer in terms of aesthetics, durability and longevity.

03:24 - Can I get dental implants if I grind my teeth? What dental implants are best for teeth grinders?
For people who have really strong habits of grinding their teeth, clenching their teeth, PMMA can be a better option because it has a little bit of flex within in the material. It also wears down slowly a bit like natural teeth would over time, so it can sort of absorb the forces of the grinding and the clenching potentially better than the porcelain which would then chip or break more easily.
