What Are Dental Implants and How Are They Used?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from titanium, which we place in your jawbone. We can use the implant for several procedures to improve your smile and jawbone health. Some options include:
- Dental Crowns: Dental crowns are the most popular use for dental implants. They are custom-made caps that fit over missing gaps in your smile. We can fabricate them to match the color of your other teeth, and they are strong enough to withstand years of use. They are only a fit for those with one missing tooth.
- Bridges: We recommend bridges for patients who have more than one missing tooth in an area. We still use an implant, but rather than a single false tooth, we use a bridge to fill the gap left by several missing teeth. Bridges are also sturdy. But most importantly, they will restore the appearance and functionality of your teeth.
- Dentures: If you are missing many or all of your teeth, implant-supported dentures are an excellent route. They are removable like other dentures, but they are more stable and effective because we attach them to an implant.
The Overwhelming Benefits of Dental Implants
There are more than a few benefits associated with dental implants. For instance, getting implants will improve your teeth’s functionality, meaning you can speak more clearly and enjoy more foods. Stability is also a significant plus, as implants provide a sturdy base that will not shift in your mouth. However, the most beneficial element of implants is their ability to maintain your jawbone, encourage bone growth, and prevent shifting. Your teeth help hold your jawbone in shape, and people with missing teeth often experience changing jawbone structure. The benefits are clear. Contact Lakeside Oral Surgery today.
