About Dental Implants
Do you have one or more missing teeth that make it difficult to chew, speak, or feel confident in your smile? If so, dental implants may be the permanent solution you’ve been looking for. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of durable materials such as titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge.
Here’s what you need to know about dental implants:
The Procedure
Dental implant surgery is typically performed in stages over a period of several months. First, the implant is inserted into the jawbone and allowed to integrate with the bone for several weeks to several months. This process is called osseointegration and forms a strong base for the implant. After osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, which holds the replacement tooth or bridge securely in place.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer multiple benefits over other tooth replacement options such as dentures and bridges. These benefits include:
1. Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth since they are custom-made to match your existing teeth.
2. Durability: With proper care and maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.
3. Improved Functionality: Teeth implants are anchored firmly into your jawbone. They provide stability and strength that allows you to eat and speak naturally without worrying about slippage.
4. Improved Oral Health: The alternative to dental implants are bridges. Bridges which require healthy adjacent teeth to anchor them in place. Implants don’t rely on other natural teeth for support which preserves healthy tooth structure.
5. Increased Confidence: Having a full set of natural-looking teeth can give you back confidence and self-esteem.
The Cost
The cost of a dental implant varies based on many factors. In general they cost more than other traditional options for tooth replacement. Dental insurance may cover some of the costs. It’s best to speak with your provider directly to determine your eligible coverage, based on treatment recommendations.
