People who are missing teeth always wish to have a permanent solution for their problem. Dental implants could be the solution they are seeking for! Dental implants are small metal posts, usually made out of titanium, which are surgically inserted into the jawbone. The jawbone will heal around the and fuse to the implant posts, creating an anchor for the replacement teeth. Thus, a permanent solution.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. They are used to replace teeth that are missing, damaged, or have deteriorated due to periodontal disease. They are also an excellent option for patients who would like to replace their existing dentures or partial dentures.
Dental implant benefits include:
Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth because they feel and look natural.
Yes. Dental implants have been in use for over 40 years, and they have proven to be a safe and effective way to replace missing teeth. In fact, they've even been considered the gold standard, which is why they're the treatment that most patients choose.
Dental implants are comprised of a surgical-grade titanium post that is implanted into the jawbone. The post replaces the missing tooth's root, so it provides stimulation to your jawbone just like your other teeth. This prevents bone loss, which is a common side effect of missing teeth.
The dental implant post is topped with a restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. This helps recreate your natural smile.
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth because they are stronger and more lifelike than other tooth replacement options, such as bridges and dentures. However, they are not right for everyone. The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. If your gums and bone structure are healthy, you are likely a good candidate for a dental implant. If your gums and bone structure are unhealthy, you may need a bone graft before you can have dental implants.
