Losing one or more of your teeth can have a massive impact on your life. Not only will it impact your self-confidence, it will also affect your speech, eating and can lead to serious dental problems. Dental implants have long been recognised as one of the most effective treatments for teeth which are badly damaged or missing.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are custom-made teeth replacements that are permanently attached to your jawbone. Used for multiple or single teeth, the dental implant is most commonly made from a titanium screw with a tooth crown on top. Custom-made for your teeth, dental implants look natural, undetectable and if treated properly, will last a lifetime.
Unlike other options for tooth replacement, like crown and bridge procedures or dentures, dental implants are the only treatment that will prevent bone loss. Dental implants also do not damage heathy teeth, which is why many leading dental organisations recognise them as the standard of care for tooth replacement.
What does it treat?
Dental implants are used to replace missing or badly damaged teeth. Not only do missing teeth pose cosmetic and speech problems, they will also result in the loss of chewing function and the inability to eat a complete diet. Missing teeth also pose a serious bone loss problem.
Your jawbone needs the chewing action of your teeth to stimulate it and keep it strong. Without this action, the bone will begin to disappear. Alongside the dental problems this causes, without your teeth and facial bones you face will sink in and make you look prematurely aged.
As dental implants are attached to your jawbone, they are the only treatment that can stimulate chewing action and prevent bone loss. In addition, dental implants are also shown to improve comfort and allow you to eat, talk and live your life as normal.
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime and have a success rate of 95% to 98% for periods of over 50 years. Dental implants have been found to last much longer than other tooth replacement options like dentures or dental bridges.
A dental implant must be placed with a high level of precision, so it is vital for patients to choose a dentist with the skills and experience needed to perform implantation. Because dental implants are a surgical procedure, patients are advised to ask questions about experience and training before going to a general dentist for the procedure.
If you’re in need of a tooth replacement option, you should definitely consider dental implants. To find out if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, schedule a consultation with Dr. Matteo Bignamini, General & Cosmetic Dentist DDS (Italy)
