What is Dental Implant?

Dental implants are a smart and convenient option for adults of all ages, whether you were born with or had to have your teeth extracted due to injury, infection or decay. Implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium and placed in the jawbone to fulfill the function and aesthetics of missing teeth.

Today, it is only possible to stop the melting of the jawbone, which is one of the important problems that occur with tooth loss, with implants. While implants provide better speech and chewing function than traditional veneers and prostheses, they also bring a natural appearance to your face. The most popular type of implants today are the "screw" shaped ones.

Advantages

Here are four key advantages of dental implants compared to alternatives such as dentures and bridges:

You will look and feel great!

Dental implants look and function like healthy, natural teeth. They are so comfortable that they are almost no different from your natural teeth. You can brush and floss your natural teeth as you do, so you don't need to remove them for cleaning like dentures. It also keeps your natural face shape and smile, making you look completely natural.

They are designed to last!

Correctly applied dental implants can last for decades. Many other options, including some dental bridges and dentures, may need to be replaced every 5 to 10 years. However, with the right implants made by experts, this problem disappears.

You will live life with confidence!

Your dental implants will not slip when you talk, eat or laugh. It also makes your speech more natural than other prostheses. You can use dental implants with peace of mind to eat what you love, say what you want to say, be as active as you want and smile widely.

They protect facial bone and healthy teeth!

Having a gap in your mouth after losing one or more teeth can lead to health problems such as deterioration of the jawbone. Dental implants are actually the single most reliable option to help stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss. Getting an implant as soon as possible after losing a tooth helps prevent bone loss in the area.
