So what is a dental implant?
Dental implants
are basically replacement tooth roots. The implants then provide a strong
foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to
match your natural teeth.
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
There are many
advantages to dental implants, including:
·
Improved appearance.
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed
to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
·
Improved speech. With
poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble
or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that
teeth might slip.
· Improved comfort.
Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable
dentures.
· Easier eating. Sliding
dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own
teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without
pain.
· Improved self-esteem.
Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about
yourself.
· Improved oral health. Dental implants don't
require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby
teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left
intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier
access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
· Durability. Implants
are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a
lifetime.
· Convenience. Removable
dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing
inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to
keep them in place.
