Dental Implant: Best Option for Replacing Missing Teeth

Adult teeth are designed to last a lifetime, ideally; however, things don’t always happen as planned. Plenty of adults lose their permanent teeth due to tooth decay, periodontal disease or an accident. Because the body no longer produces a natural replacement to adult teeth, you’re stuck with a gap between your gums.

The gap caused by your missing teeth can be replaced by a number of options, but dental implants are actually the best replacement.

Dental Implant Looks and Acts Like Real Teeth

A dental implant is made up of two parts: an artificial tooth root made from a titanium metal post that acts as foundation, and a crown cemented unto the root. This crown is created in the form of real teeth, with color made to match the neighboring teeth. This makes the dental implant look and act like real teeth.

Unlike dentures that you have to remove regularly, the dental implant stays in place.

Dental Implant Prevents Bone Loss

Teeth actually have roots that go deep down into the jawbone. Every time you take a bite, you signal the body that this area is still active. When you lose a tooth after extraction, the area is cut off from the body’s regenerative resources; eventually this leads to bone loss.

When a dental implant is in place, the artificial root mimics the real tooth. This signals the body to maintain the bone in that spot. In turn, this maintains the strength of your jawbone.

Dental Implant Prevents Shifting

As it fills the gaps in your gums and keeps the area active for bone repair, shifting of neighboring teeth is prevented. As your body accepts the implant, it will signal the area to regenerate bone tissue to repair what was lost. Bone tissue will be built around the implant’s root; in as little as 6 months, the implant will be fully integrated into your natural jawbone.

Dental Implant Lasts Longer

With the dental implant fully integrated into the jawbone, you’ll have a ‘new tooth’ that will be held permanently in place. You’ll never have to worry about this tooth getting affected by decay or periodontal disease.

Because it ideally lasts longer, there will be less cost for maintenance in the future. So, you get to enjoy a more youthful look because the dental implant will support your cheeks and jawline just like natural teeth would.

Dental Implant is Easiest to Maintain

There is no need to regularly remove the dental implant to get it cleaned. Just like regular teeth, it’s crown can be cleaned through brushing and flossing your teeth. Because the dental implant essentially becomes a part of you, just like real teeth, it won’t slide out like dentures that sometimes cause some embarrassing moments.

You can eat your favorite food with confidence, not worrying whether your dentures might get stuck on the sticky food and get accidentally removed while you’re enjoying dinner with someone important.

An added bonus to the use of dental implants is that the nearby teeth are not reduced to accommodate or support the artificial tooth; thus, this helps improve long-term oral health.
