Dental implants have been popular for their effectiveness for many years now. Natural-looking dental implants are chosen over dental bridges because of their appearance and lack of drawbacks. To support the natural teeth, titanium posts are placed in the jawbone. One or more missing teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge, and it can also be used to stabilize shaky dentures.
Replacement of a Single Tooth
A dental implant has been a significant success when done to replace a single missing tooth. It resembles your actual teeth. With computer-aided design, CAD, and 3D manufacturing, the dental laboratory can produce the final product. It creates teeth that are incredibly lifelike in appearance.
Replacement of Multiple Teeth
Dental implants are used to support bridgework that replaces lost teeth. For example, two implants are required to keep a bridge that replaces three to four teeth. The implants replace the lost teeth naturally, with no negative impact on the neighboring healthy teeth. This procedure is very meticulous. Doctors use computer simulations, 3D imaging, and the surgical guide for implant location during the implant procedure.
It Involves Only a Few Steps.
The stages vary according to the type of dental implant you require or get from your surgeon.
- To begin, local anesthetics are administered into the gums to numb them and prepare them for surgery.
- Your dentist will implant a titanium post into your jawbone surgically. To do this, the surgeon makes a small incision in your gums to expose the bone into which the tooth will be put. It will eventually heal and merge with your original jawbone.
- An Abutment, a remote connection, is then strung onto the implant’s bottom to attach it to the replacement teeth.
- Connecting the Abutment to the replacement teeth is the final step. Because the procedure is carried out gradually and the root is thoroughly embedded and connected with the bone, they do not fracture under pressure or appear artificial in any manner. It will function and seem just like actual teeth.
Final Thoughts
A dental implant is your best option if you have missing, broken, or entirely decayed teeth that require replacement. Additionally, they are utilized by those who are unable to wear dentures. The most pleasing thing is that they bond with the jaw, eliminating the possibility of them falling out or cracking. In comparison to natural teeth, dental implants do not deteriorate due to the titanium. As a result, they are a safe alternative for tooth replacement. Let’s not delay any longer; see your dentist and confirm your appointment to flaunt that gorgeous smile and savor every flavor.
