Dental Implants
WE ARE DENTISTRY CLINIC
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are an artificial tooth root that is anchored into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are composed of titanium, a biocompatible substance that merges with the jawbone to form a robust and solid base for the replacement tooth.
Why do we utilize dental implants?
The use of dental implants to replace lost or damaged teeth. They can support a single tooth replacement, a bridge, or even full dentures. They give a permanent and reliable alternative for tooth replacement and can improve the teeth's appearance and function.
How do dental implants become inserted?
Dental implant placement normally entails a surgical procedure in which the implant is inserted into the jawbone. The implant is allowed to heal and integrate into the jawbone over the course of time. After the implant has fused with the jawbone, an abutment (a small connecting post) is placed on top of it, and a replacement tooth is linked to the abutment.
What advantages can dental implants offer?
Dental implants provide numerous advantages, including:
• Improved appearance: Dental implants appear and function like natural teeth, making them a tooth replacement option that appears natural.
• Enhanced functionality: Dental implants can enhance the capacity to chew and speak, as well as protect the remaining natural teeth.
• Enhanced self-esteem: Dental implants can enhance self-esteem and confidence by restoring a smile that seems natural.
• Better oral health: dental implants do not necessitate the reduction of surrounding teeth, as is sometimes required with traditional bridges.
• Permanent solution: dental implants can last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
Who qualifies for dental implants?
Most individuals with a healthy jawbone and one or more lost teeth are candidates for dental implants. However, some medical issues and lifestyle choices can limit an individual's eligibility for dental implants. These include heavy smokers, those with uncontrolled diabetes, those with periodontal disease, and those who have undergone head or neck radiation therapy.It is essential to speak with a dentist to establish if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
How do I properly maintain my dental implants?
Taking care of dental implants is comparable to taking care of natural teeth.
• Regularly brush and floss your teeth
• See your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings
• Do not use tobacco products
• Limit your consumption of sugary and starchy meals
By adhering to these straightforward instructions, you can prolong the life of your dental implants.
