Dental Implants aid to overcome all dental problems. They are, no doubt, the most reliable and popular solution for the replacement of lost teeth.
If left missing teeth untreated, it can lead to severe consequences such as:
- May disturb the facial appearance that can lead to low self-esteem or lack of confidence.
- Adjacent teeth move into space which results in mal alignment.
- It can lead to tooth decay and gum disease due to plaque accumulation & food trap in the gap caused by the missing teeth.
- If multiple teeth are missing, you may then have a collapsed bite.
Dental implants prevent all this from occurring at a very early stage and give you a functional and healthy bite.
Dental implants are the most popular and also the ideal solution, for replacing your missing tooth/teeth. They have definitely changed the course of dentistry in the last quarter of a century or so.
A dental implant is basically a titanium post which is surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gum line to work as a tooth root. Post insertion, an implantologist will attach a crown on top of the implant to ensure the appearance of a natural tooth.
Tooth Implants not only look and feel like your natural teeth but also function like.
Implants are a safe, well-established treatment. It’s probably true to say that implants, much like natural teeth, will last for as long as you care for them.
Difference Between Dental Implants & Bridges
Bridges
- May compromise the adjacent natural tooth
- A bridge may need replacement at times where bone loss continues at the site of the missing tooth
- With bridges, your teeth may be prone to plaque, decay or gum disease, with a risk of possible future root canal
Implants
- Does not compromise with an adjacent tooth
- An implant causes no bone loss as it gets attached with the bone and promotes healthy bone
- With no free spaces in between, implants won’t attract bacteria ever for plaque accumulation
