The corrective options for patients
with damaged or missing teeth or with unhealthy roots
have not always been in abundance, nor have they been
incredibly dependable. Dentures require maintenance and
adhesives, and plastic composite bonding stains through
the years and is susceptible to damage. It's a different
story, however, with a dental imlant.
Dental implants are placed within
the gumline, and take on the role of a root. The gums
rely on roots to hold up the jawline structure and keep
the gums healthy, so this is crucial. The implant is
also an anchor for the prosthetic tooth, usually a porcelain
crown, that is screwed onto the portion of
the implant outside of the gumline. The result is a durable
and stable replacement tooth that doesn't need to be
removed, can be brushed as normal, and won't interfere
with chewing
or speech. Dental implants also look natural, so they're
your little secret!
