Dental Implants

 

Dental implants are widely used to replace one or more lost teeth.Dental implants are small screws that replace the roots of your missing teeth. Just like a tooth root, it is placed into the jawbone. Mainly dental implants are titanium, but some prefer ceramic. Both materials are biocompatible and safe.

Who needs dental implants?

People who have missing teeth can benefit from dental implants. People lose their teeth due to various reasons: 

       ● Cavities (tooth decay).

       ● Bruxism (clenching or grinding your teeth).

       ● Tooth root fracture.

       ● Facial injury.

       ● Gum disease.

       ● Congenitally missing teeth (you were born without certain teeth).

 

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants offer various advantages. They can:

       ● Enhance the appearance of your smile.

       ● Improve chewing and speech ability.

       ● Secure removable or permanent dentures and bridges.

       ● Provide teeth replacement without shaving down your neighboring teeth. 

In addition, dental implants don’t cause cavities.

How long do dental implants last?

Currently, dental implants are the most long-run teeth replacement option available. With the right care and maintenance, they may last a lifetime. Actually, the timeline depends on the person and physiology, but most crowns and bridges usually last around 15 years, and dentures last up to seven years.
