The Best Solution for Tooth Restoration: Dental Implants
When you lose a tooth, there are a variety of options
available for restoring your smile. The hard part is deciding which method is
right for you. In the past, patients with missing teeth would resort to wearing
dentures, but as time went on, they began to notice certain ailments that arose
while wearing their false teeth. Patients began to complain about discomfort
and embarrassment when their dentures slid around and out of their mouths. The
instability of dentures led to difficulty eating and speaking, as well as
provided a breeding ground for gum sores and other mouth infections. On top of
all of these issues, dentures added oral maintenance to existing dental
routines with their requirements to soak and be brushed with cleaner.
Those experiencing tooth loss now have a better and more
reliable way to restore their natural smile – Dental Implants.
Dental implants are a more permanent and fixed alternative
to traditional dentures and involve a titanium screw or “root” that is placed
into the existing jawbone. The screw is then topped with a replacement acrylic
tooth. Dental implants are like bridges in that they can replace multiple
missing teeth, but unlike bridges, dental implants involve no additional
reshaping to your existing teeth.
Since dental implants are fixed into the jawbone, none of
the slipping and sliding associated with traditional dentures is present. There
is no need to be self-conscious with dental implants, and you can experience
more efficient chewing, better digestion, and stronger facial tissues with
their installation. Dental implants also involve none of the added maintenance
of traditional dentures and follow the same dental routine as your existing
teeth.
