Dental Implants May be Right for You

Dental Implants May be Right for YouToday, more people are interested in getting dental implants. The procedure of having dental implants has become an important and essential part of dental health and the dental industry. A dental implant is a tooth root replacement which goes in the place of a person’s mouth where the natural teeth are missing. These implants replace the natural tooth roots. There are many benefits associated with having implants which make them a more popular option for people needing a tooth or teeth replacement.

First, having dental implants improves a person’s quality of life. Dental implants function, feel and look like natural teeth. This means improved eating, speaking and smiling. People with dental implants feel more confident and their self-esteem improves. It is a lot easier to take care of an implant supported crown because it can be cleaned just like a natural tooth. Additionally, you won’t need any messy adhesives for dentures since the implant supported tooth is secured to the implant.

Next, having dental implants preserves facial structure. Implants prevent the bones in the mouth from deteriorating which keeps the facial structure intact. The dental implants keep the bony part of the face from collapsing because the bones are preserved. Continue reading →

Maintaining Your Tooth ImplantTeeth implants are a modern tooth restoration option, which can be used to replace a single tooth, a range of missing teeth, or a full set of teeth. Commonly also referred to as dental implants, teeth implants are small screws made of titanium, which can act as substitutes for the root portion of natural teeth.

Dental implants are fitted into the jawbone, after the drilling of a tiny hole. During the healing period, bone grows around the dental implants, effectively fusing with them, which enables prosthetic teeth to be later anchored to them. Prosthetic teeth are usually made of porcelain, which together with an abutment, are attached to the teeth implants, once the healing process has progressed sufficiently.

A Second Chance in Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are one of the greatest advances in modern dentistry. Combining science and technology, implants replace single teeth or multiple teeth and mimic Mother Nature in both function and esthetics.

Teeth can be lost for a number of reasons. Dental decay, periodontal disease, and trauma are but a few reasons why we lose teeth. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not intend for us to incise and chew our food with missing teeth!  Losing a tooth is like knocking over the first domino.

Although our friends may not know we are missing a few posterior teeth, missing teeth place the burden of chewing on remaining teeth.  This burden, coupled with large Continue reading →
