Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium plug that replaces the root of a damaged or extracted tooth. As a result of the missing teeth, the implant usually supports a crown or bridge made of porcelain to fill in those gaps.

All of us hope that our teeth will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. For patients with damaged, failing, or missing teeth, dental implants can provide a long-term solution with a cosmetic result most alternative treatments cannot match. A tooth implant also helps preserve the bone that supports a tooth, which naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost.

There are a variety of reasons as to why tooth replacement may be required

• Tooth loss and resulting misalignment.

• Dental defects from a genetic condition.

• Complications arising from gum disease.

• Failed root canals.

• Excessive wear and tear.

• Trauma resulting from an accident.

• Tooth decay.

Benefits Of Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can significantly impact your life. In addition to the obvious discomfort caused by a gap in the mouth, it can also affect patients psychologically by making them feel unflattering. For example, they might be unable to chew food properly.

Modern dental implants make it possible to replace teeth that have been lost or damaged permanently. Apart from the noticeable aesthetic improvement they provide, this tooth replacement method also offers the following advantages:

• Preservation of bone that slowly breaks down when a tooth is lost.

• The functionality of the crowns is similar to that of natural teeth.

• In comparison to alternative treatments such as dentures, this treatment provides superior comfort.

• Provides a highly cost-effective treatment considering how long-lasting it is.

• Significant improvement of the oral health of the patient.
