Dental Implants
If you are considering dental implants, consider
the following. Dental Implants can be used to replace missing teeth.
They have been used very successfully now for the past 20 years and
dentistry has come to rely on them for solving problems that were formerly
insolvable.
Tooth loss probably effects us more today in our
job and social lives than ever before. Now, thanks to modern dental
implant technology, dentists can offer real answers to these real problems.
Missing teeth, medically known as edentulism, keeps
many people from “feeling their best”. Edentulism not only effects your
self confidence, but also has a dramatic impact on the quality of your
life.
There are basically two types of implants. Those
that sit on top of the jaw bone, but under the gums, and those that
fit into the jawbone similar to the root of a natural tooth. Each type
offers solid, non-mobile support for replacement teeth which act and
feel like natural teeth.
The actual implant procedure involves the surgical
placement of the implant or implants, a healing period and implant restoration
to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
There are different types of implants that you can
choose from. Since we do not have the time or space to cover all of
the details, we are going to suggest that you do some further reading
here.
Interested in avoiding dental implants altogether? The only way to do
this is to just give up caring about your appearance or to implement
some preventative care, which you will find covered in the dental
health and dental hygiene sections.
