What are dental implants?
Dental Implants are the most popular solution for replacing your missing teeth. Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screw like posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real teeth. Implants allow you to eat, chew and smile and last a lifetime.
Dental implants are placed in your jawbone to hold the artificial tooth. Implants are ideal alternatives for dentures and bridges.
Any individual can face the problem of missing teeth due to gum disease, trauma, tooth decay, accident and poor oral hygiene. If missing teeth are left untreated, it can lead to difficulty in chewing, speech problem, wrinkled and older looking face, pain in the jaws, gum disease and tooth decay which may result in a lack of confidence and low self esteem.
Dental Implants are fit for any individual irrespective of their age or gender and are the best solution for replacing missing teeth.
Types Of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant: Single tooth dental implant requires one post and one crown. It replaces your entire missing tooth from root to crown.
Implant Supported Bridge: If you have multiple missing teeth adjacent to each other, the best option for you is Implant supported bridge. The process of implant supported bridge is similar to a single tooth implant however, the teeth missing in the middle of the gap will not receive implants. Implant supported bridge has crowns that connect to dental implants. So, Instead of having the crowns attached to teeth you can securely replace multiple teeth in a row without the cost of each tooth implant.
Implant Retained Denture: If you’re missing all your teeth in the upper arch or lower arch then implant Retained Denture is a best option for you. It gives you the appearance of a full set of teeth.
Whether you are missing one tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can help you restore your smile.
