Missing teeth can cause a variety of problems, from difficulty eating and speaking to feelings of self-consciousness and embarrassment. For those who are missing one or more teeth, dental implants may be the solution they have been searching for.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small, artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once in place, the implants provide a sturdy foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. The result is a beautiful, natural-looking replacement tooth that feels and functions just like a real tooth.
People may consider dental implants for a variety of reasons, including:
Missing teeth: Whether due to injury, decay, or gum disease, missing teeth can cause a variety of problems. Dental implants can replace missing teeth and restore the appearance of a full, healthy smile.
Loose-fitting dentures: Many people who wear dentures struggle with slippage and discomfort. Dental implants can be used to secure dentures and provide a more stable, comfortable fit.
Improved oral health: Unlike dental bridges, which require reduction of adjacent teeth, dental implants do not impact the health of surrounding teeth. This makes them a great option for those who want to preserve as much of their natural tooth structure as possible.
Dental implants offer many benefits, including:
A beautiful smile: Dental implants look and feel like real teeth, providing a natural-looking smile that can boost confidence.
Durability: Dental implants are strong and durable, and can last for many years with proper care.
Improved oral health: By replacing missing teeth, dental implants can help to prevent further tooth loss, possible bone loss and improve overall oral health.
Improved function: Dental implants function just like real teeth, allowing people to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
