Dental implants: A permanent solution for lost teeth

If you’re in need of a replacement option for your lost teeth then dental implants may be for you. Consider all of your options –– dental implants are one of them. Read on to find out everything that you need to know!

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are surgical components that are used to replace a lost tooth’s structure. They are shaped like screws and are made of titanium materials. Once placed within a person’s jawbone, healing must take place. This involves a process of fusing. Then, an artificial tooth can be attached so that the lost tooth can achieve full functionality.

How dental implants can be a permanent solution

Because dental implants are fused naturally to a person’s jawbone, they will eventually become a permanent part of the bone. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants can be permanent. Dentures or bridges are prone to damage as well as replacement because they are not as secure. But, since implants are embedded beneath a person’s gums and bone, they tend to be more secure in place.

Implants work in conjunction with another prosthetic such as a denture or dental crown. While those may find a need for replacement, implants aren’t likely to because they aren’t exposed.

Instead of having to constantly replace dentures that might not fit perfectly, dental implants won’t need replacement unless infection occurs, which is very unlikely. People that switch from dentures to implants or implant supported dentures tend to note that they are able to chew more naturally and smile a lot more confidently with dental implants. Thus, allowing for a more long-lasting permanent solution.
