Dental Implants - Now Face the World with Renewed Confidence

Dental implant is a dental process used to replace missing teeth. An implant is an artificial tooth that is secured into your jaw with the intent of anchoring an artificial tooth restoration. Not everyone qualifies for dental implants. However, if you enjoy excellent general and oral health, have healthy gum tissue and excellent bone density which is necessary to support the implant, then you are the perfect candidate to receive dental implants.

Dental implants are popular because they provide for very natural looking tooth restorations that look and feel similar to your natural, real teeth. They are excellent confidence boosters as they provide the most secure fit. You can use them just as you would use your natural teeth for eating and speaking without any fear of them falling off or looking out of place from the rest of your teeth.

You can consider going to a dental implant professional to replace one or many missing teeth because they do not affect the structure and strength of the surrounding teeth. Implants can give support to a bridge, making it a permanent restoration. It can also give additional support to dentures. Dental implants are available in two types.

The Endosteal type of implant is the one that is commonly used for restoring the looks of your teeth. A cylindrical shaped instrument is surgically placed into the jawbone and provides the highest levels of stability. They can anchor one or many replacement teeth. Dental implants can greatly benefit patients who have partial bridges or dentures.

The Subperiosteal type of implant is different because the implant is not placed into the bone but sits on the top of the jawbone instead. Metal posts that jut out through the gums with hold the replacement tooth securely in place. This type of treatment is ideal for those patients who do not have the desired bone height or are unable to wear traditional dentures.

Dental implants offer numerous advantages. They allow for optimal restorations that have the look and feel of natural teeth which is a huge advantage. Unlike bridges and dentures, bone loss and receding gums do not occur with dental implants. They do not rely on the surrounding teeth for support as they have their own independent support structure. This ensures that your good teeth do not suffer any damage due to implants.

Other restorations such as dentures and bridges make inadvertent movement in the mouth but implants remain fixed and firm. This helps you to eat and speak normally.Visit the best dental implant services to get the top results at competitive prices.
