Despite advancements in oral and dental health, many people still lose their teeth, primarily as a result of tooth decay, periodontal disease, or injury. For many years, bridges and dentures were the only treatment options for persons with missing teeth. However, a totally new, more trustworthy, more beautiful, and more lasting approach is available today. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. Implants provide as a solid basis for fixed (permanent) or removable artificial teeth that are custom-made to match your natural teeth.

A dental implant, in other terms, is an artificial tooth “root” that is surgically put in your mouth to support dental prostheses such as dentures or bridges. They are titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone and function as a root for the lost tooth. The titanium components in the dental implant make it biologically compatible with the body. Dental implants are required because the teeth in front of, behind, and opposite the missing tooth in the mouth cover the missing toothed region over time. This application is a beneficial treatment option that is advised because it covers the space left by tooth loss and prevents jawbone resorption. When compared to conventional bridges and entire prostheses, dental implants provide a more long-lasting and healthier outcome, as well as a more natural appearance.

What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

The primary goal of implant treatment is to replace missing teeth with new, healthy teeth. Other teeth are not affected in the implant procedure, unlike methods that cut the teeth around the missing tooth, such as bridge prosthesis.

In terms of aesthetics and function, implants are nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth. A balanced chewing function is gained as a result of the healthy teeth that replace the missing teeth, and more severe and difficult to treat problems such as stomach disorders that may occur in the future, anatomical disorders that may occur in other teeth, jaw joint problems, and reduction of the amount of jawbone in the area of the missing tooth are prevented. The dental implant also offers its patients various advantages such as perfect appearance, fluent speech, ease of eating, durability, oral health, and self-confidence. Simultaneously, the implant is the only tooth replacement technique that actively utilizes the jawbone. Because the titanium alloy is merged directly with the natural jawbone, it builds the bone and keeps it from deteriorating. This, in turn, helps to preserve oral health and the health of the surrounding teeth.
