There
is rising an awareness of dental health in the world as it is inherently linked
to the overall well being of our body. Nowadays people never hesitate to spend
much for dental treatment. If you have severe problems with your teeth and
started missing your teeth an implant may be necessary in such cases. Dental implant treatment involves
in the replacement of your lost natural teeth as well as some of the roots.
Through this method, artificial tooth roots are placed in the jaw to hold it
firmly. In certain cases, it may refer to the artificial bridge for patients
who have lost any teeth.
Dental
implants can offer many benefits in comparison to the form of teeth replacement
options. Apart from giving a natural and beautiful look, the implant can give
you longer lasting dentures. They look so real that it is hard to recognize
between an artificial teeth and a real one. The dentures are very comfortable
and stable and will help you to have the capacity to bite more sharply and
chewing. They are very strong as they are placed with metal anchors. They are
better than the conventional dentures or removable false teeth, which are
placed immediately after the removal of the teeth.
Moreover, dental implant treatment can
give you an aesthetic appeal, and they are easy to maintain in the long run.
Conventional dentures can cause bone loss in subsequent periods which further
leads to the deteriorating quality of a jawbone. All such things will result
nothing but an ugly smile. Dental implants will last for a lifetime. With
conventional dentures you may have difficulty to consume certain foods.
Implants
are cylinder like structures which are placed into the jaw. After that they are
left up to six months to get adjusted with the bones to form anchors for the
artificial teeth. Some kind of a metal anchor is placed on dental implants
which work as substitutes for the roots. Over this time, the replacement teeth
will get adjusted to the titanium posts attached to the metal anchor. During
this period, dentists often suggest for a soft diet. After six months a second
surgery will follow to attach a small healing collar with the implants. Then
dentists will start making your replacement teeth. The dentist will attach
Titanium rods to the metal anchor implants to finally attach the artificial
teeth to the titanium rod.
Dental implant treatment can keep your jaw bone healthier and protected as they are
integrated with the jawbone. But in conventional dentures, the bone surrounding
the roots of the tooth starts deteriorating after some point of time.
The
whole procedure will take some two to six month period. They are minor
surgeries and can be performed under local anesthesia. In order to have
successful implants it is better to go to the best dentists around.
