Replacing lost teeth using dental implants
is one of the best ways to overcome the problems of missing teeth. Many people
think that dentists started using dental implants recently as an option to
replace missing teeth, but according to Ridgetop Dental’s Dr. Datta, who has
been practicing dental implant surgery for last decade, the idea for using
dental implants has been around for centuries. Let’s take a look at the history
of dental implants, brought to you by Ridgetop Dental-the best centre for dental implants in Northern VA.
Archaeological
evidence of dental implants
·
The first dental
implant that dates back to 600 AD is attributed to the Mayans.
Archaeologist found the mandible of a woman in her twenties that had
tooth-shaped seashells inserted into the sockets. It was found that bone had
grown around the seashells, serving as replacement for her lost tooth.
·
Egyptian and Celtic remains
revealed that precious stones and ivory were used as replacement option during
that time.
Bamboo
implants!
Ancient Chinese used bamboo
pegs to restore aesthetic smile in humans.
Birth
of modern dental implants
In 1952 Per-Ingvar Brånemark, a Swedish
orthopaedic surgeon studying the biology of bone healing, discovered that bone
tissue would fuse to titanium cylinders, and that’s how the term
‘Osseo-integration’ was born. After several years of hard work and research,
the first Brånemark implants were produced and they changed the way the
world looked at tooth replacement. Since then, dental implant technology has
seen much advancement. The modern dental implants like-Ridgetop Dental’s dental implants in Vienna VA is one of the finest examples of
dental implants, with superior quality and perfection that lasts for years.
Our ancestors perfected the art of dental
implant placement through years of practice and research. So, it makes sense to
choose an experienced dentist, like Dr Datta if you want to get the best
results from your dental implants. Dr Datta is one of the senior dental implant

A chill went down my spine thinking about the lady who had a tooth shaped seashell inserted into her sockets. That must have been really painful. I'm so glad that the dental implants that exist today are probably a much easier and plainless process. http://www.camphillfamilydental.com/services
