In this, our second article installment, we shall be exploring the history of dental implants as well as the question most frequently asked of the qualified dentists that place them…

“Does it hurt, doc”?

Question: When Were Dental Implants Invented?

 Answer: Although the origins of modern dental implants in Peoria can be dated back to the 1950’s – when Swedish orthopedic surgeon Per-Ingvar Brånemark (above) discovered the biological process that made it all possible – there is evidence of the underlying concept that sweeps back over a thousand years! Archaeological excavations have unearthed skulls of people from the ancient Mayan and Egyptian civilizations that had carved fragments of bone, sea shell and even ivory still lodged in various tooth sockets. These rudimentary ‘dental implants’, although a very far cry from what modern dentistry can achieve today, obviously offered a somewhat aesthetic and even functional solution to single and multiple missing teeth!

Fast-forwarding several centuries, in 1951, Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark made the important discovery that was to make tooth replacement in Arizona using dental implants a possibility! During a clinical experiment it was found – unintentionally too – that bone tissue is capable of forming a biological bond with titanium metal; a process referred to as ‘osseointegration’. This represented a giant leap forward in medical science as it made it possible for surgeons to use this exceptionally strong metal to repair and replace bones and joints in the human body; not to mention in the fabrication of dental implants in Peoria! Subsequent work by the Professor and countless other scientists gradually revealed over the ensuing decades that it was only titanium metal that was capable of osseointegration, which made this metal very unique.

Nowadays, dental implants in Peoria are precisely fabricated from the highest quality materials, using sophisticated computer software and complex machinery. The end result is a product that can last decades and even a lifetime if properly cared for!

These problems are expressed in the patient’s loss of confidence, avoidance of social interaction, inability to speak effectively, avoidance of personal relationships, dependence upon bad tasting and messy denture adhesives and embarrassment.

In contrast, 80% of patients treated with implant-supported teeth judged their overall psychological health improved compared to their previous state wearing traditional dentures. Dental implants in Peoria are the preferred solution.
