Gorgeous Permanent Replacements for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can cause embarrassment and low self-esteem. A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can replace single or multiple missing teeth.
There are a number of reasons why you should consider a dental implant. Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can actually shrink. This shrinkage will make your face look sunken and older. Once in place and fully healed, the dental implant is stable and comfortable. Normally, it will serve you for life. Most patients prefer dental implants to removable dentures. Other dental implant benefits include:
- Improved appearance: When you lose the entire tooth – crown and root – shrinkage of the jawbone may cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop this process. A traditional denture or dental bridge does not. Dental implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth.
- Preserve natural teeth: With traditional dental fixed bridges, the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth must be modified to anchor the dental bridge. Dental implants eliminate the need to modify or grind down healthy teeth.
- Permanent solution: There are no loose parts to worry about and nothing to remove when you sleep. Dental implants are stable and comfortable and typically require no adjustment after placement.
- Natural function: Following a brief adaptation period, dental implant patients find that their chewing and biting capacity is comparable to their natural teeth.
