What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
Before development of dental implants, dentures were the only alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants are placed in your jawbone for the ultimate stability. This means that you’ll be able to eat your favorite foods with confidence. Many of our patients also appreciate that dental implants can be used to allow their dentures to stay in place while they talk and smile.
Not only do missing teeth affect your self-confidence, but they can also contribute to further tooth loss and even bone loss in your jaw. Your body is able to detect missing teeth and will absorb the minerals in your jaw to use elsewhere. Over time, you’ll lose bone density and even experience facial collapse. Facial collapse not only affects your appearance, but makes it difficult and uncomfortable to wear dentures. Dental implants help to stop bone loss.
Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant, however. For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.
Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Implants are usually made of a synthetic yet biocompatible material like metal or ceramic.
Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up and anchor the device. In some cases, metal posts are inserted into the implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the procedure.
Like any restoration, implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last a long time.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Contact us today for a consultation with Dr. Yarbrough if you recently lost a tooth. You may be a candidate for dental implants if you have sufficient bone density in your jaw. That way, your dental implants will have enough support. You’ll also need to have a healthy immune system before undergoing the dental implant procedure.
