Dental Implants

Losing a tooth is a common medical condition for adults. This might be the result of a trauma (causing the tooth to crack or break), deterioration (after many years of use or negligence) or an oral disease. When this occurs, one will usually want to replace the missing tooth, or teeth. 

Deciding to replace missing teeth is not only a cosmetic decision; it has significant impact on your overall health and your self confidence. In this case, dental implants may be a fitting long lasting solution for you. A Dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth by a natural looking substance.

The implant itself is a small titanium post (titanium is used due to its compatibility with bone and oral tissues) placed in the upper or lower jaw bone. The titanium implant fuses with the jawbone and will now act as the root structure for a tooth. When the bone grows around the dental implant your dentist will a place a foundation on the implant and a crown. The crown is created by a prosthodontist A dentist who specializes in the esthetic (cosmetic) restoration and replacement of teeth..

When you make sure your teeth (your dental implant included) are properly maintained, the tooth implants can last a very long time, as the dental implant is permanently fixed in your mouth. Unlike a "traditional bridge" where cement may wash out from underneath the bridge and expose the tooth and increasing the risk of cavities, dental implants do not get cavities.

Due to advances in dentistry, tooth implants can function as your regular teeth allowing you to chew, preserve the jawbone preventing bone deterioration and gum tissue collapsing and most importantly, to smile and keep your oral and medical health.
