Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically installed into your jawbone. The implants will act as artificial tooth roots.
Dental implants are made out of titanium. This metal is biocompatible, which means that your jawbone won’t reject it. Titanium is also strong, so a dental implant can last for a lifetime.
The dental implant is a small rod that is inserted into the jawbone. Over time, your bone will grow around the and fuse to the implants, creating a strong base for the replacement teeth. After the implant has fused with your jawbone, a crown is attached to the top of the implant. A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that matches the rest of your teeth.
Dental implants are the gold standards of tooth replacement and it offers the following benefits:
Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. Jawbone deterioration will occur over time after tooth loss. Without the tooth root to stimulate the jawbone, the bone will deteriorate. A dental implant will replace the root of the tooth, preventing further bone loss.
Dental implants can also support a dental bridge or denture. A bridge uses dental implants to secure an artificial tooth that fills in the missing tooth space. A denture will sit on dental implants, securing them in place.
Caring for dental implants is easy. Brush and floss them at least twice a day, and keep up with your regular dentist appointments.
If you are missing teeth, talk to your dentist to find out if implants are an option for you. Your dentist will be able to recommend whether dental implants are a good option for you.
