Dental Implant Benefits
For most people, teeth are something they rarely give much thought to. For others, illness, accidents, or other mishaps can lead to the loss of one or even many teeth. Today, no one has to live with these problems — there's a definitive way to replace missing teeth called a dental implant.
Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants
If you're missing only one tooth or even a few teeth, a dental implant is an ideal solution to filling in those missing gaps. Dental implants are a permanent solution that you can simply treat like any other teeth in your mouth, with no particular attention or maintenance required.
The reason for this is because the dental implant is a comprehensive solution to the problem of a missing tooth. If you are deemed a suitable candidate, a screw — usually titanium because of its strength and lack of immune system response — will be inserted through your gums and into the bone for a tight, secure, immovable fit. Once the screw has been attached, the actual dental implant, an artificial but natural-looking tooth replacement, will be affixed to the screw. And that's it. You're done.
A Permanent Solution
Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place and treated just like your natural teeth — no special maintenance required.
Benefits of a Dental Implant
Aside from restoring a tooth into an empty space for aesthetic reasons, there are many other sound health benefits for getting a dental implant replacement.
Restores Your Smile
Dental implants fill in missing gaps with a natural-looking tooth replacement, restoring a complete, confident smile.
Easier Eating
Eating can be much more difficult if you are missing teeth. Harder foods can be more of a challenge. Implants restore full chewing function so you can enjoy the foods you love.
Fewer Vulnerabilities
With a full set of teeth restored, there are fewer gaps for plaque and bacteria to exploit, so tooth decay, plaque, and gum disease are less likely to occur.
Maintains Mouth Shape
Missing spaces let nearby teeth drift crooked, and with too many missing teeth the shape of the mouth can gradually change as the body diverts resources away from the jaw. Implants keep the structure of your mouth intact.
Who Can Use Dental Implants?
While the dental implant is a comprehensive and often ideal permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth, there are certain physical requirements people must meet to be considered suitable for this procedure. An appointment with our team at Mega Dental can quickly determine whether you are a suitable candidate.
