Dental implants are the best tooth replacement option out there. Thanks to their ability to replace the roots of the missing teeth, they offer a wide range of additional benefits that you can\u2019t find with dentures or dental bridges. Something that many people don\u2019t know about dental implants<\/a> is that they aren\u2019t a new concept. They actually go back thousands of years. Here\u2019s how they have evolved into what that are today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ancient Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going all the way back to ancient times \u2013 approximately 2000 B.C., the first versions of dental implants were made from carved bamboo pegs in the civilization of ancient China. Moving ahead, the first recorded case of metal replacement teeth comes from an Egyptian king from about 100 B.C. A copper peg was hammered into his upper jaw to replace a missing tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was common for missing teeth to be replaced with teeth from animals or other people, but this would result in a high rate of infection. Other things that were used to replace missing teeth included gems, like jade, and seashells. It wasn\u2019t for hundreds of years that dental implants became more advanced and common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implant Developments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once we made it to the 18th<\/sup> century, researchers were starting to experiment with gold and alloys to make dental implants. In the 19th<\/sup> century, a doctor mounted a porcelain crown on a platinum disc. None of these materials ended up showing much success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t until 1952 that an orthopedic surgeon discovered that titanium cylinders fuse together with bone tissue. It was hypothesized that titanium may be the most ideal material to use for dental implants, so the first titanium dental implant was placed in a volunteer in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 1970s, modern dental implants started to make their first appearances. As time has progressed and dental technology has become more advanced, dental implants have become more customizable and natural-looking. Now, dental implants are available to people who are missing one, multiple, or all of their teeth. Dental implants have a success rate of more than 95% and are the only tooth replacement option available that preserves the integrity of the jawbone, preventing deterioration. In the end, they have become the preferred tooth replacement option by dentists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are missing teeth, talk to your dentist about your options. Dental implants may be the long-lasting solution that you are looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
