If you are suffering from one or more missing teeth, you may want to consider dental implants. Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option that fuse to your jawbone and function just like natural teeth.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement option. Implants are made of a titanium or ceramic base which is surgically implanted into the jaw by an oral surgeon. The base is topped off by an abutment and a dental crown, which is made to look like your other natural teeth. This crown is customized and color-matched to look like your remaining teeth, meaning your dental implant will be undetectable.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
There are many advantages to dental implants. Implants improve the look of your smile and the functionality of your teeth. Because dental implants are fused to your jaw, they stay in place and are overall more comfortable and dependable than other tooth replacement options. Dental implants also help to preserve your oral health and prevent issues that come along with missing teeth. When you lose a tooth, the other teeth surrounding it can slide and turn, which can damage your bite. Dental implants will keep your teeth in place and restore your natural, beautiful smile.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
One of the biggest requirements for dental implants is having a suitable amount of remaining jawbone to support the implant. If too much has deteriorated, you may not be a good candidate for dental implants. Additionally, you must be in good overall health to go through the implant procedure.
