Do you feel any discomfort while chewing due to missing or broken teeth? Are your speech and chewing abilities affected by ill-fitting dentures? Get the dental care that you need and experience comfort and relief with the help of implants. Rod W. Gore, DDS explains what makes it one of the best long-term solutions for dental repair, and why more patients prefer it over any other dental solutions out there.
What are Dental Implants?
When we talk about dental implants, we’re talking about a small structure that is composed of a screw that works like the roots of your tooth, a connector, and finally a crown. Once the parts are put together and the procedure is done, you get an artificial tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real one.
What Makes Implants Last Longer than Other Dental Solutions?
Dental implants are anchored to the bone of your jaw with tiny root-like screws. They’re designed that way because they will eventually bond with your natural bone. A connector joins the screws (the “roots”) to the crown (the “tooth”), creating a more natural look. The convenience and longevity of the solution are the reasons more patients choose to have implants. As of writing, it’s the leading dental replacement solution available.
Should You Get Implants?
If you have missing teeth, would like to replace a crown after a root canal, or are tired of having to deal with removable dentures, a tooth implant is the best option for you. You’ll need to set up an appointment with your dentist to assess your suitability for the procedure and determine if you have enough bone structure for the implants to bond with. This is important, as the proper fusion of the implant to your jawbone is what secures it in place.
Benefits of the Treatment
- Dental crowns are long-term and natural-looking. It lasts twice as long, if not longer than other dental replacement procedures.
- If you’ve been suffering from repeated gum swelling or pain due to ill-fitting dentures, implants provide relief and comfort as opposed to using removable dentures that may slip or hurt the gum.
- Implants can also encourage bone growth because the “screws” eventually fuse with your natural bone. As a result, it can help improve facial structure and reduce the sunken-in or caved-in appearance that the face takes on due to bone loss from missing teeth.
- The procedure helps improve your speaking and chewing abilities as implants function like a real, natural tooth. It also eliminates the discomfort and on-and-off pain from using removable dentures.
- Dentists match the color of your natural teeth to create a seamless, natural effect. There are no glues used to secure the tooth, so that’s one less thing to worry about, as well.
- It halts the progression of bone loss and gum recession, improving your overall dental health and facial appearance. On top of that, you worry less and you feel even better. You feel more confident and healthier, too.
