Dental Implants
How Do Dental Implants Work?
You can create a lasting beautiful smile by replacing one or more missing teeth with the latest reliable and aesthetic techniques.
Once a tooth is lost, the bone starts melting down, space between teeth allow the other teeth to shift, creating problems with the gums, bite, and smile. When multiple teeth are lost the problem gets worse. In addition to impacted ability to chew significant bone atrophy (meltdown) leads to loss of facial volume and older appearance.
Replacing missing teeth is much less costly in the long term than correcting the problem once the teeth have shifted. For those who want to replace one or more missing teeth and are in good health, consider implants – a permanent dental replacement system.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth implanted into the jaw bone. A dental implant is an artificial tooth implanted into the jaw bone. It is generally made of titanium and covered with a porcelain crown or a bridge to give the appearance of a real tooth.
Historically, dentures or bridge restorations would be used as replacements, but with limited results. Dental implants, however, are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that also provide the same function as your natural tooth root.
Implants are extremely durable and will last many years, far outlasting other restorative procedures. You cannot get a cavity on an implant. The success rate for implants is extremely high.
It is not surprising that a great number of people with removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or removable bridges have opted for implants. They have discovered a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.
