Despite all improvements we have today in dental care, millions of individuals suffer from tooth loss mostly due to injury, gingivitis (gum disease) or tooth decay. In the past, the only solutions available were dentures and bridges. Today, there is a better solution available – dental teeth implants. Teeth implants are artificial roots that provide a stronger foundation for removable or permanent replacement teeth, that are made to match the natural teeth. This dental treatment provides many advantages for the patients.
Improved appearance – Teeth implants feel and look like your own natural teeth, and because they are fused the bone, implants are permanent.
Better speech – With poor fitting dentures, your teeth can slide within your mouth leading you to slur or mumble your words. Teeth implants allow you to speak with no worry that your teeth may slip.
Improved Comfort – Teeth implants do not cause discomfort as removable dentures because they are fused to the bone.
Easier Eating – Chewing can be quite difficult with dentures. Dental teeth implants work like your own natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite food without pain and with confidence.
Improved Self-Esteem – Dental implants will help you feel much better about yourself and you will smile again.
Improved Oral Health – Teeth implants do not require reduction of your other teeth to support the dental implant. The most part of your natural teeth are left undamaged, boosting long term oral health.
Durability – Dental implants are very durable and will last for many years, even a lifetime if properly maintained.
Convenience – Teeth implants eliminate the need for dental glue.
Success rate of teeth implants can vary depending on where implants are placed in the jaw, but generally, implants have a 98% of success rate. As we said above, with right care they can last even for a lifetime. A patient should have enough bone and healthy gums if he/she wants to get dental implants. Also, the patient must be committed to regular dental visits and good oral hygiene. People who are heavy smokers, those who have any heart related problem or are diagnosed with diabetes must be evaluated and may need special treatment. If you are thinking about teeth implants, discuss the options with your dentist. When it comes to insurance, generally dental implants aren’t covered. Discussed this with the insurance provider and your dentist as well.
