When you are going to be the lucky recipient of a dental implant, you
are most probably concerned about two things. Firstly, is it going to
hurt? Secondly, can people tell I have had a dental implant?
Well both of these questions actually have answers you are going to love. For the pain issue, a local anaesthetic is used during all procedures, so you will not feel a thing. If you do feel minor discomfort afterwards, you can just take off the shelf analgesics. As for people noticing your new dental implant - of course they are not going to know that you have had it done. It will look just like it was there all along. The dental implantologist is a highly skilled professional who will ensure that the implants fit perfectly into your mouth, in more ways than one!
What will the dental implant look like?
That is simple; it will look just like all your other teeth. This is because the implantologist will match the colour of the implant to the colour of your teeth exactly. The crown size will also be made to match both the position of where it is going, as well as to match your other teeth of the same kind.
How is the colour for my crown chosen?
Did you know that each of your teeth is made up of many different shades of white? Teeth are certainly not monochromatic. Therefore when a crown is made, which is the part of the dental implant you see, several colours are used to create a natural looking tooth. Your dental implant would stand out like a sore thumb if it was just plain bright white and you certainly don't want that!
Your crown will be specifically made for you. At one of your appointments, the dental implantologist will bring out a range of colour samples and choose the one closest to your remaining teeth. It is recommended that your teeth are whitened prior to this appointment and that the crown colour is chosen to match your whitened teeth. You are also part of this decision making process, so feel free to speak up if you think a different shade is more suited to your mouth. Your eye, skin and hair colour also should be noted when making this decision. Some say that the whites of your eyes are a good guide to the colour of your teeth, but this depends on staining and discolouration.
Dental implantologists have a tool called the Vita shade guide. This guide places teeth into four main colour groups. They are red-brown, red-yellow, grey and red-grey. In each of these groups there are many different shades to choose from. Your dental implant will be matched exactly to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
