It can also cause bone density loss in the areas of the missing tooth root. These problems are eliminated by dental implants.

Importance of Tooth Replacement

Accident, gum disease, age or injury can cause you to lose one or more teeth. Regardless of the reason, tooth replacement is important for many reasons.

How Does Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants are the latest standard of dental care for replacing tooth. During this procedure, the prosthetic tooth is implanted to the underlying bone using a small screw. A piece called abutment is fixed over the screw and the prosthetic tooth is then cemented to the abutment.

What to Expect?

Before starting the dental implant procedure, the dentist will check whether you are a right candidate. Almost all adults can undergo this procedure, except those with some medical conditions. He/she takes x-rays and creates a model of your existing teeth to determine the right position to fix the implants. In a very few cases, the dentist may take a tissue graft from the bone or gum to create enough space for the implant. With the latest tools and technology, the dentist can complete the procedure in a painless manner. The dentist may prescribe some medication to relive pain or minor discomfort you may have after implants.

Why Dental Implant is A Better Solution for Tooth Replacement?

Dental implant looks and feels like natural teeth. It can last for a lifetime. The dental surgeon can replace a lost tooth by a dental implant without disturbing the nearby healthy teeth. On the other hand, a dental bridge requires crown on both the neighbouring teeth to anchor it. This can affect the structure of the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth.

Dental implants are long term replacements. They are made of titanium metal that combines with the jawbone effectively, so there is no need to fear about slipping or embarrassing noises. As implants fuse with the jawbone, the problem of bone loss can be avoided. This in turn helps you preserve your facial structure and prevent premature aging.

Dental implant offers the possibility to replace the entire tooth, including the root. Hence, the function and look of the natural tooth can be replicated. You will no longer find it difficult to chew or bite food. Tooth replaced by implants helps improve your smile and appearance. You can get increased comfort and confidence while speaking, eating and smiling. It is much easier to care for an implanted tooth. You can clean it like a natural tooth. Alternatively, dental bridge requires you to use floss for proper cleaning. Dental implant helps you restore your self esteem and confidence.
