Dental Implants for a New Smile
Dental implants have been instrumental in advancing dentistry over the last few decades. They are widely regarded as a popular solution for replacing missing teeth. These artificial structures are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function similarly to natural teeth. In the following sections, we will cover key information about dental implants.
-
What are dental implants?
Dental implants may replace tooth roots with metal, screwlike posts and replace damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and work much like real ones. Dental implant surgery may be considered when dentures or bridgework do not provide a comfortable fit. This surgery can also be an option when there aren’t enough natural teeth roots to support dentures or bridgework tooth replacements.
The type of implant and the condition of the jawbone guide how dental implant surgery is done. This surgery may involve several procedures. One of the key benefits of implants is the support provided for the new teeth—a process that requires the bone to heal tightly around the implant. Because this bone healing requires time, the process may take several months.
-
When do you qualify for dental implant surgery?
You can consider going in for a dental implant surgery if –
- One or more of your teeth are missing.
- You are unwilling or unable to wear dentures.
- You wish to improve your speech.
- Your jawbone has reached its full growth.
- You have the adequate bone density to secure the implants.
- Your oral tissues are healthy.
- You don’t have any conditions that might affect healing.
- Possess the willingness to commit several months to the process.
-
How are dental implants better than dentures?
Dental implants are known to provide enhanced stability compared to dentures. Here are some reasons why dental implants may be a beneficial option:
- More comfortable and natural feeling
- Improves chewing function by providing stronger biting pressure
- Reduces the risk of cavity development in adjacent teeth.
- Helps maintain the structure of the surrounding teeth and bone at the site of the missing tooth.
- May decrease sensitivity in nearby teeth.
- Reduces the risk of ulcers and irritation often experienced by denture wearers.
- No need for nightly removal and cleaning.
-
Is dental implant surgery safe?
Dental implant surgery is a widely accepted and generally safe procedure when performed by an experienced and qualified dentist. A dental implant can help maintain the health of your jawbone and stimulate its growth, supporting overall oral health.
Advantages of getting dental implants
If you are considering getting dental implants, you can benefit from the following –
1. Improved appearance: Since dental implants feel and look like your natural teeth, they can help in markedly enhancing your appearance.
2. Better speech: Dentures can often cause you to slur or mumble your words. With dental implants, however, you will be able to speak more clearly.
3. Improved comfort: Dental implants are designed to fuse with the jawbone, which makes them a permanent solution. You do not experience any kind of discomfort which is usually associated with a denture.
4. Makes eating easier: Dental implants essentially work like your natural teeth, which makes it easier to eat your favourite food without pain.
5. Better oral health: Since there are no alterations done to the nearby teeth to support the implant, most of your original teeth are left intact. This helps in improving your oral health in the long term. Individual implants also make it easier to clean between the teeth, thereby improving oral hygiene.
Conclusion
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including restoring the ability to chew, enhancing cosmetic appearance, reducing jawbone shrinkage from bone loss, supporting the health of surrounding bone and gums, and maintaining the stability of nearby teeth.
