Dental Implants
Dental implants are to screws that are drilled into your natural jawline and bonded with your bone. Once they are in place, they are then secured with an artificial tooth on top that is durable and long-lasting. Dental implants are one of the more natural purchase to maintaining the health of your teeth while also restoring your smile, and this is because the natural bonding between your bone in the implant adds lasting strength and security to the tooth itself.
What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are a form of restorative dentistry that helps by replacing old, missing, or rotting teeth with new and durable ones. The process includes screwing the dental implant itself into the base of the jawline where the former tooth once was. The screw must then have some time to bond with the jawline to form and breakable base. This process can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. Once completed, an artificial tooth can then be placed onto the screw and fitted with the rest of your bite. Bone Protection and Growth As mentioned previously, dental implants are one of the more natural approaches to maintaining your overall dental health. This is because the bonding process between the screw and your bones helps promote protection of the new tooth and bone growth itself. The screw acts as a heavy duty tooth root, which adequately secures the tooth in place so that it does not move when in use. Once completed, your dentist will then customize a new tooth and securely fit it into place so that it matches the rest of your smile and fits perfectly into the spot where the dental implant lies. Appearance One of the things that clients appreciate most about dental implants, is that they are incredibly strong and durable. They offer a gray standard of support and comfort to the wearer. With a natural appearance and secure bonding process, dental implants can easily fill your smile with newer teeth that are long-lasting and revitalizing to your oral hygiene and dental health. The appearance of dental implants is relatively natural, simply because you cannot see the implant itself. The screw is bonded far into the jawline and isn’t visible to the naked eye. Furthermore, the new tooth is then placed on top to cover the head of the screw. Functionality When considering dental implants, some clients are curious to know about how they function compared to their natural teeth. Open gaps in the gums and missing teeth can make it challenging to speak and eat correctly, while your overall jawline and alignment can shift drastically with the absence of a tooth or teeth. Dental implants aim to prevent those discomforts and fill the gaps naturally, adding the same comfort and security that you would expect from an organic or natural tooth in your mouth. In short, dental implants operate the same as natural teeth offering you the ability to eat, drink, chew, talk, and perform daily functions like normal with ease. |
