Relief from Pain and Discomfort
Missing teeth can cause more than shyness. Difficulty eating, speaking, or even maintaining your oral hygiene are all incredibly common symptoms of missing teeth. Tooth loss leads to all sorts of health complications from poor diet, to heart disease.
By replacing missing or decayed teeth with a dental implant, you’ll not only be getting a natural look, but also a natural feel! Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, just like existing teeth, which keeps the jaw healthy and strong.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an amazing development in dental restorations and the sturdiest tooth replacement available. Unlike traditional restorations that only restore the visible portion of your tooth, a dental implant goes further to restore the missing tooth root as well.
Dental implants consist of three parts that work together to restore different parts of your tooth:
- The Implant | This consists of a small titanium rod that is surgically installed into your jawbone. The implant itself replaces just the root of your tooth to stimulate the jawbone and support your new tooth.
- The Abutment | This piece is placed on top of your dental implant as a connector between the implant itself and the tooth restoration on top.
- The Crown or Dental Restoration | This is the visible and biting surface of your new tooth that sits atop the abutment. Dental implants can support a single tooth crown, a dental bridge, or a full set of dentures.
This combination results in a solid, long-lasting root and a crown that looks just like its neighboring natural teeth. Because tooth implants are firmly secured to your jawbone, they can not only last a lifetime but also benefit your overall oral health as well!
