What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or various other reasons.
Dental implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is accepted by the body and serves as a strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a fantastic long-term option. Missing teeth can cause a number of negative consequences, such as:
- Shifting Teeth – If one of your teeth is missing, the remaining teeth in your jaw will begin to shift into the open space left behind. This could result in crooked or misaligned teeth.
- Exposed Gums – Missing teeth will also result in an exposed gum area that is susceptible to pain from harder foods during chewing.
- Bone Loss – Missing teeth can result in the degradation of the jaw bone, causing the facial structure to change over time.
- Weakening of Oral Structure – Missing teeth can cause an overall weakness of the structure of the mouth, leading to additional tooth loss or injury that could worsen over time.
Thankfully, a dental implant will mitigate these problems over the long-term. Unlike fixed bridges, which may need to be replaced two or three times during a lifetime, dental implants are durable and rarely, if ever, need to be replaced.
The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.
