Dental implants are devices that are placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Dental implants<\/a> are different from traditional dental restorations like crowns<\/a> and bridges because they integrate with the jawbone and last much longer. Once an implant is placed, it will not be visible as it is below the gums. More and more people are getting their dentistry done online to save time and money. There are many reasons we choose an implant as our means of restoration. Implants can give you a stable, long-term solution for a missing tooth. A cosmetic dentist will determine if you’re a candidate for tooth implants. If you’re a good candidate for this treatment, they will aid you in planning a treatment plan that is right for you and your smile!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is a dental implant?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

They are artificial structures that a dental surgeon inserts into a person\u2019s jawbone. A person may need an implant if they have lost one or more teeth. A tooth implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone. This post will act as an anchor for your new replacement tooth. If you lose teeth due to gum disease or tooth decay<\/a>, it can be difficult to eat and smile with confidence. Tooth implants are the best way to replace missing teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

They look and feel like real teeth and provide stability. You can brush and floss around your dental implants just as you would your natural teeth. Dental screws are placed inside your gums. Once the implant is set, a dentist<\/a> will place a titanium screw on top of the implant. This screw will fuse with your bone and provide a stable foundation for your new tooth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why get dental implants?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Implants are the best way to replace missing teeth. They are more stable than dentures and can last a lifetime! Once an implant is placed into your jaw, it will fuse with the surrounding bone and become a permanent fixture in your mouth. Tooth implants look and feel like real teeth and provide stability. You can brush and floss around your dental implants just as you would your natural teeth. Tooth implants are a great option if you are missing one or more teeth due to gum disease or tooth decay. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more teeth. They are often used with dentures to create a more stable and permanent solution for missing teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the biggest advantages of an implant is that it restores full chewing power. Most patients can\u2019t tell the difference between their natural teeth<\/a> and the implanted tooth. They can eat with it completely normal, and they can brush and floss normally as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental Implants can last a lifetime<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whereas a dental bridge may only last around 10 years or so, implants can last a lifetime. It\u2019s bio-compatible, meaning that it\u2019s non-toxic and not rejected by the body. All in all, it makes a powerful replacement tooth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tooth Implants prevent bone loss<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bone loss occurs in the jaw when there are no tooth roots (or implants) keeping the jaw bone stimulated. Where there is no tooth, the jaw bone in the empty space deteriorates due to lack of stimulation. If no implant is placed in the first year of losing a tooth, that bone area loses 25% of its volume, and bone loss continues over the years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dentures<\/a> can even accelerate bone loss as they often become loose, and then rub against the bony ridge, gradually wearing it away. Because an implant replaces the root as well as the tooth, and chewing is restored to normal, it provides the needed stimulation for natural bone growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tooth Implants keep adjacent teeth stable<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The gap from a missing tooth can cause adjacent teeth to crookedly shift towards the gap. This pulls your teeth out of position and can affect your bite, your ability to chew, and your appearance. It can cause interference that makes tooth replacement difficult later. A poor bite can also lead to issues with your TMJ<\/a> (temporomandibular joint) and may result in pain and headaches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
