DENTAL IMPLANTS

Tooth loss is a physically and emotionally stressful condition. It affects your ability to eat and dents your confidence. Also, it damages your health as your chewing function is impaired, the oral cavity is weakened, and jaw architecture is compromised due to shifting teeth and a collapsed cheek contour.

However, you don’t have to live with this condition. Thanks to dental advancements, there are incredibly natural-looking procedures to compensate for lost teeth: dental implants. They replace irreparably damaged or missing teeth and restore oral health and well-being, helping you enjoy your usual appearance and confidence. Plus, they are a durable, long-term solution.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants function as replacements for missing teeth. A dental implant has three components:

• The root device or fixture: It is a tiny screw-like device usually made of titanium or zirconium oxide, alloys or ceramic and surgically implanted into the jawbone. It mimics the role of a tooth root and sets the foundation for an artificial tooth. A few weeks after implantation, it fuses like a tooth root with the jawbone.
• Abutment: A tiny metal, ceramic, or plastic component connects the fixture to the base of the artificial tooth.
• Crown: The artificial piece that does the job of a tooth in the form of a crown. Several crowns make a dental bridge. Dentures need not be removed when fused with the implants; they are permanently attached to the implant.

Who Needs Dental Implants?

If you have lost a tooth or several teeth due to any of the following reasons, you may need a dental implant:

• Tooth injury/trauma
• Tooth decay
• Tooth infection
• Periodontal disease (gum infection, bleeding gums, gingivitis, etc)

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Restore Normal Dental Functions and Facial Appearance: Dental implants help you return to natural chewing and speaking, so you can eat and enjoy your foods like before and speak normally. Loss of teeth can shrink the jawbone, leading to collapsed facial contours, and dental implants bring back the normal appearance.
Enhance Confidence and Normalcy: Dental implants are custom-made to get the exact shade, shape and look of your natural teeth, ensuring the continuity of your image and smile.
Deliver Long-term Functionality: With proper care and regular dental check-ups, implants can last a lifetime, unlike other tooth replacement options that may erode over time. Thus, they are a cost-effective investment in the long run.
Improve Oral Health: Dental implants support the overall health of your mouth as they fill the gaps, preventing the possibility of adjacent teeth shifting and misaligning. Due to the absence of gaps, the jawbone remains strong and is not subject to bone loss.
