What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants can be thought of as artificial tooth roots placed in your jawbone and become a base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, called crowns. A connector, known as an abutment, is placed on top of the dental implant to support the crowns. Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium, which provides a more durable and natural-looking root form. Given the numerous benefits and aesthetic qualities dental implants offer, they have become the preferred method of tooth replacement today.

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are a more modern solution for tooth replacement than dentures or bridges. They are actually the only dental restoration option that preserves natural bone and helps stimulate bone growth. Dental implants look, feel and function like a real tooth. They will not decay and are designed to last for the rest of your life. There is no slippage or discomfort that commonly happens with dentures. They also make eating and speaking easier while improving your overall oral health.

Who is a good candidate for Dental Implants?

Those likely to benefit from dental implants include people who have been experiencing problems with conventional dentures or simply people who have lost a tooth or teeth. Dental Implants should also be considered when a tooth cannot be saved as extracting that tooth without replacement will result in irreversible bone loss. A front tooth that is lost will impact your confidence and your happiness. A back tooth that is lost will impact your ability to eat and chew, and your diet and overall health could deteriorate. They make life easier for those finding it difficult to chew and enjoy meals and can slow down the process of tissue and bone loss in the jaw. What’s more, implants can even provide a more youthful appearance due to how they will give your facial structure a lift. Furthermore, they will help you to speak more clearly.

However, for this implant procedure to work, there must be enough bone in the jaw. The bone has to be strong enough to hold and support the implant. If there is not enough bone, it may need to be added with a procedure called bone grafting.
