What are Dental Implants, and who needs them
If you loose a permanent tooth due to an accident, and the tooth is recovered quickly enough, you can sometimes have it reattached, but often too much time passes between the loss of the tooth and getting the person to a doctor or dentist. Often, the only choice for those who need to replace a tooth is a dental implant.
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss and attached to a replacement tooth or a bridge. They do not rest on the other teeth to support the replacement tooth, but rather are tooth into the gums. Dental implants are placed into locations where teeth have recently been extracted. Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts (bridges and dentures).
Dental Implants – Are Among The Most Successful Procedures In Dentistry
Dental implants are natural-looking replacements for missing teeth due to periodontal disease or an injury. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you lost a tooth. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. They are extremely naturalistic, and those who receive dental implants often do not notice a difference in the oral function after the surgery has healed.
Implants can replace removable bridges or dentures, or they can be used to stabilize and secure the denture, making it much more comfortable. Dental implants are very durable and will last many years. Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Dental Implants replace individual teeth and partial bridges in the upper and lower jaws. Implants are very durable, will last many years, and require the same “maintenance” as real teeth, including brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups.
