Dental Implants - Procedure and Benefits
Dental care treatment has become an absolute necessity for millions of people worldwide; in spite of improvements and advancements in dental care and health, people are afflicted by gum disease and tooth decay. Till a few decades ago, bridges and fixing dentures were two main options for treating people with missing, broken or in situations where teeth have to be surgically removed.
Modern day dental care includes dental implants that are replacement teeth roots. An implant can support one or more artificial teeth; the implant is a screw made of titanium that is fixed into the jawbone in place of a tooth root when it fails. They provide a strong foundation or base on which removable or permanent teeth can be fixed to match existing natural teeth.
There are many advantages to dental implants, some of which are:
• Greater comfort - dental implants can help avoid discomfort of fixing and removing dentures.
• Ease of chewing and eating food - dentures do not always fit 100%; with use they become less fitting and chances of slipping out while chewing food are high. With dental implants, this problem is eliminated.
• Better oral health - dental implants do not require other teeth to be modified or adjusted thus ensuring that more natural teeth are left unharmed thereby improving dental health and hygiene in the long-term.
• Improvement in appearance - since dental implants are so designed that they fuse with the jawbone; they become permanent and feel like natural teeth.
• Speech improvement - unlike slurring or mumbling sometimes caused by dentures, implants do not slip ensuring better speech and communication.
• More confidence and self esteem - a good smile brings back confidence and a spring in the step.
• Convenience - dentures have to be removed and cleaned everyday; with dental implants this is not necessary at all.
• Durability - dental plates can last a lifetime with proper care and regular dental check-up.
