A gap in your smile can negatively affect your confidence and self-image
A gap in your smile can negatively affect your confidence and self-image. The loss of a tooth can also impact the function of your bite and may even result in adjacent teeth being compromised by shifting position and becoming more vulnerable to decay, chipping and cracking. Dental implants offer a permanent, proven solution to missing teeth.
An implant is basically a custom-made, artificial tooth made of either ceramic or titanium (the same material used to heal broken bones). The artificial tooth is fixed to a titanium post implanted into the jaw bone. Implants look, feel and function just like natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care.
Dental implants can be used to:- Replace missing teeth
- Support dental bridges
- Secure dentures (either removable or full and fixed)
- Advantages of dental implants:
- Unlike other dental restorations such as bridges, dental implants do not
- require the grinding down of the teeth on each side of the gap.
- Implants are comfortable, convenient and very strong.
- Implants are easy to keep clean.
- Implants prevent side-effects of tooth loss such as gum recession, bone loss, and
- speech difficulties.
- Dental implants can make dentures secure and reliable – which means no more
- messy adhesives or slipping, uncomfortable dentures.
What does the process involve?
