What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium or metal post surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as the root of the tooth. The dental implant has three parts:
- Dental implant – A titanium post inserted into the jawbone to serve as the tooth of the root.
- Abutment – Connects the dental implant to the replacement tooth.
- Dental crown – Tooth-coloured replacement tooth.
A dental implant is a permanent solution to missing teeth.
Why Is It Important to Replace Missing Tooth/Teeth?
A missing tooth/teeth means more than just an empty space in your mouth. It can lead to more dental issues such as:
- Bite difficulty
- Shifting out of position of remaining teeth
- Disrupted distribution of pressure during eating
- Not enough support on your cheeks, giving a hollowed look to your face
Once a dental implant is inserted, balance returns and your jawbone can fully support your lips and cheeks.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular dental restoration option because of their many benefits such as:
- Improves biting and chewing capacity
- Dental implants are durable and can effectively take on your teeth’s job during eating. With dental implants, food limitations are lessened. You can go back to eating your favourite foods.
- Provides stability in the mouth: With the missing tooth replaced, the pressure that occurs during eating is now properly distributed among the sections of the mouth.
- Permanence and durability: Dental implants are permanent. Once inserted, they don’t fall out. With proper dental care, they can last as long as natural teeth.
- Improved oral health: Your overall oral health is improved with the dental implants in place. Implants stop dental issues arising from missing teeth, such as unwanted shifting of remaining teeth.
- Looks and feels like your natural tooth: Your dental implants are made to feel and look like your natural teeth
- Improved appearance: With your missing teeth replaced, the natural structure of your face and cheeks is returned.
