Modern dental implants\nin Worthington<\/a> are the result of centuries of research and advancement.\nThis means that your dental implants will not only be safe, but effective and\naesthetically pleasing as well. Implant technology is currently the\nstate-of-the-art in dental medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

From Ancient Egypt to 20th<\/sup> Century America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The earliest efforts to treat ailing teeth come from ancient Egypt, where, around 2500 BC, primitive dentists use gold wire to stabilize loose tooth. In 2000 BC, Chinese researchers carved dental implants from bamboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One key insight into how\nmodern dental implants work comes to us from the ancient Mayans, who used\nseashell fragments to replace missing teeth. Researchers know this because they\nhave found ancient skulls with the seashells still in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon closer\nexamination, they discovered that these early attempts at dental implants\nactually fused with the surrounding bone, a fact that is still used in dental\nmedicine to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern history of\ndental implants began in the 1950s, thanks to the discovery of osseointegration.\nThis is the same process that allowed bone to fuse with seashells in the\ntreatment example from Mayan history. By the 1960s, dental researchers were embedding\ntitanium alloy implants in patient’s teeth, to act as the base for a long-lasting\nporcelain restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants in the Digital Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While these early\nefforts are interesting, they bear little resemblance to the techniques and\ntechnology used in modern dentistry. 21st<\/sup> century breakthroughs provide\ntoday’s implant patient with advantages such as these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
