What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are one of the most popular ways of replacing lost teeth today. They improve oral health and quality of life. A dental implant is a kind of artificial tooth root that will attach to your jaw when you lose your tooth/teeth. They are a prosthetic option used to replace missing teeth. It is essentially a post or a “screw” made of titanium surgically inserted into the jawbone below the gum tissue. The dental implant simulates the tooth root and provides a foundation to support the restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are a better choice than dentures because implants are a permanent accessory that can increase your confidence in a smile and, most importantly, improve your quality of life.
With the highest success rate of any tooth-replacement option and a track record spanning a decade, implants are the best solution to missing teeth. 69 % of people in the U. S. between ages 35 and 44 have at least one lost tooth. 1 in 4 people over age 74 have lost all their teeth. Dental implants are a great option if you miss one tooth, multiple teeth, or even all your teeth. They look and feel and function like natural teeth. With proper care, implants can last the rest of your life. It makes them such a good value. It’s the longest-lasting tooth restoration option. You can get implants at any age.
Benefits of a Dental Implant
Dental implants provide many benefits that other tooth-replacement systems can’t match. They stop the bone loss that inevitably follows tooth loss. Preserving bone structure helps keep your appearance and your confidence. Implants won’t loosen over time like dentures or fall like bridges. Dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth in aesthetics and function. The visible part (crown) is custom-made to enhance your smile, but the natural beauty of dental implants goes much deeper. Through the natural process of osseointegration, the implant becomes fused with the living bone cells of the jaw. This remarkable union forms a solid and durable anchor for your new teeth.
