What Are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth. Thousands of people have got implants fitted to help fix their smile and to regain their confidence. Implants are also extremely safe and secure way of filling in the gaps between your teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace one single tooth or an entire jaw line. Your dentist will be able to advise you on the best course of action to take once they inspect your mouth and teeth.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are carried out with a procedure that replaces the teeth roots with a metal screwlike post in which an artificial tooth is then screwed and fitted into place. Dental implants can offer a welcome alternative to dentures or bridgework that may not fit well and can offer an option when a lack of natural teeth roots don’t allow for the building of dentures.
Why Dental Implants Are Done
Dental implants are typically done to replace broken or lost teeth with an artificial tooth as opposed to dentures or bridgework. Because titanium in the implants is fused with your jawbone it means the implants won’t slip, make noise or cause bone damage the way fixed bridgework or dentures might.
Who Should Get Implants?
Implants are available for most people as long as they tick a few boxes that qualifies them for the procedure. Dental implants might be suitable for you if:
- Have one or more teeth missing
- Have a jawbone that has fully grown
- Have adequate bone to secure implants or are able to have a bone graft.
- Have over all healthy oral tissue
- No health conditions that will affect bone healing
- Unable to wear dentures
- Want to improve your overall speech
- Are willing to commit time and effort to the process
- Don’t smoke
