HOW DENTAL IMPLANTS KEEP YOUR
OTHER TEETH HEALTHIER
Dental implants are the modern solution to
missing teeth.
In addition to improving your smile and, in
the process, your entire facial appearance,
they can improve your dental health — and
even your general health.
Dental implants
Here are some of the primary advantages
dental implants have over other prosthetic
devices:
•
Permanence: Unlike dentures, implants
are permanent and can be treated like
natural teeth.
•
Strength: Dental implants are attached
to the bone, which avoids the problems
associated with dentures.
•
Comfort: Dental implants feel like real
teeth and, once in place, will soon go
unnoticed by the wearer.
Primary Advantages
Although teeth are more durable than most
other parts of your body, they are usually
not perfect.
Ravaged by decay or damaged by accident,
one or more teeth of them may have to
come out.
Teeth Are Durable,
But Not Perfect
The loss of even one tooth can cause
surrounding teeth to shift, resulting in their
misalignment, and can also cause gum
problems.
Dental implants make it possible to restore
your full set of teeth after such a loss.
The Loss of
One Tooth
The implant will serve as the root of
whatever is being used to replace the
missing tooth.
Normally made of titanium, the implant is
inserted directly into the jawbone. Through
the process of osseointegration, it will soon
become part of the bone.
Osseointegration
This technique will also help promote bone
growth, which is good for the rest of your
mouth.
Additionally, it will make the replacement
crown or bridge permanent.
Bone Growth
The procedure is done in two steps, the first
of which involves the placement of the
implant itself.
After a healing process that may take from
four to six months, the artificial tooth or
teeth will be attached to the implant.
Two Step Process
The procedure is done in two steps, the first
of which involves the placement of the
implant itself.
After a healing process that may take from
four to six months, the artificial tooth or
teeth will be attached to the implant.
If you have lost any of your teeth, you
should consider a dental implant procedure
at Studio City Dental Center.
