Dental Implants
If you’re interested in resolving your problem with missing teeth in a permanent and attractive way, then dental implants may be right for you. People lose their adult teeth for many reasons, but none of them should be cause for you to feel ashamed that you need help. Even if the reason had to do with years of avoiding the dentist, it’s a great sign that you’re now seeking the dental care you need to replace your missing teeth, possibly with dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are made up of three parts; the post, the abutment and the crown. The implant part is the small titanium post that’s surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the surgical site is fully healed, these posts provide the foundation for the abutment, which connects the dental implant with the crown. The crown is what shows above the gum line. Most people say that their dental implants are so realistic-looking that no one even knows they aren’t natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants go beyond aesthetics. They preserve jawbone health by stimulating bone growth, preventing the bone loss that often occurs after losing teeth. Implants also keep neighboring teeth from shifting, helping to maintain your natural alignment. Dental implants are permanent. Once you go through this treatment process, you won’t have to worry about treating your dental implants any differently than you would your other teeth. Of course, it behooves you to bear in mind that if you’ve been lax in caring for your teeth in the past, you should up your game in the oral health care department to ensure that your dental implant doesn’t fail somewhere down the road.
