Everyone should enjoy a confident smile. Unfortunately, many people lose confidence in their smile after they lose one or more teeth. The good news, however, is that dental implants offer a long-term and natural replacement option for missing teeth, restoring lost confidence and helping you feel good while in public once again.
There are many unique benefits that dental implants offer, and they can improve oral health, function and appearance. This review goes into depth about what dental implants are and how you can use them to restore confidence in your smile after tooth loss.
Most people feel more insecure about their smile after they lose one or more teeth. In addition, missing teeth pose an oral health concern, as bone loss and gum recession can occur after tooth loss. This means teeth replacement has multiple purposes, particularly to address the cosmetic issues that missing teeth cause and to improve oral healthy by preserving the jaw bone. Therefore, any person who loses one or more teeth for any reason should visit the dentist to determine the best course of action.
Dental implants are screw-like posts. The dentist or oral surgeon places them into the jawbone, and they serve as the root of an artificial tooth. Attached to the dental implant is an abutment and the artificial replacement, which is either a crown, bridge or denture. Of course, this improves your smile by filling in the space that was left by the missing tooth. When compared to traditional dentures, dental implants often provide more confidence, as they are permanently fixed into the jaw, and they feel more natural with essentially no risk of them coming loose or falling out of place.
The process for dental implants varies depending on the patient’s specific situation. Some patients require procedures before implant placement, such as bone grafting and periodontal disease treatment. Once the mouth is ready, the implants are placed through a minor surgical procedure. It takes several months for the mouth to heal, after which the abutment and artificial tooth are placed. Long-term, the implants look and feel similar to natural teeth.
Dental implants are a great option for anyone who has one or more missing teeth that cause them to feel insecure about their smile. During your consultation visit, the dentist can discuss any preparation procedures, explain all available treatment options and help you decide on the best course of action. In general, those who prefer a long-term and convenient solution to teeth replacement prefer dental implants.
