subject: Dental Implants For A Healthy Tomorrow [print this page] Anyone may lose a tooth, either through trauma or due to decay, gum disease or old age. People who have lost teeth may be embarrassed to smile or talk. Additionally, biting irregularities caused by tooth loss can have a negative effect on eating habits and this can lead to secondary health problems.
Whatever the reason for losing teeth, they need to be replaced, both for aesthetic and functional reasons. The most common treatments for missing teeth are either a denture or a fixed bridge. However, Dental implants are now becoming the most popular treatment to replace missing teeth.
Dental Implants have undoubtedly gained the status of being an effective oral and dental disease curing strategy. Dental implants can be a permanent solution because they slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue, not mentioning the excellent visual effect.
With Dental implants, a new ray of hope has emerged for all those who were suffering from the supposedly incurable dental woes. Dental implants have benefited millions of people while establishing themselves as the most successful method for tooth replacement. Your dental implant will look and feel like a regular, natural tooth.
A Dental implant is a titanium screw, which is produced from bio-compatible titanium and replaces the tooth root. The implant provides the foundation for further prosthetics to create artificial teeth that will look and function just like natural teeth.
When opting for Dental implants, one must ensure that the process is undertaken under proper guidance. Implants are successful in 95% of cases when they are placed in the natural bone, and 85-90% - in the grafted bone.
The Dental implant can serve for a lifetime. After implantation, good oral hygiene should be maintained. Of course, even after the dental implant is placed, please do not forget about the regular visit to the Dentist.
