What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium, surgically placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth like crowns or bridges. They fuse with the bone over time, creating a stable and permanent foundation for a natural-looking replacement tooth that mimics the function and appearance of real teeth.
What Dental Problems Are Solved by Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a solution for missing teeth caused by decay, injury, or other health conditions. They prevent bone loss that occurs after tooth loss, help maintain facial structure and restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably. Implants also prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting, which can cause bite issues and additional tooth loss.
What’s Life-Changing About Choosing Dental Implants?
Choosing dental implants can significantly improve quality of life by restoring a natural smile, enhancing confidence, and eliminating the discomfort or insecurity often associated with removable dentures. They offer long-lasting stability, allowing people to enjoy eating, talking, and smiling without worry, and can often last a lifetime with proper care.
Dental Implants or Dentures?
Dental implants provide a permanent solution that feels and functions like natural teeth, whereas dentures can slip, cause gum irritation, and require adhesives. Unlike dentures, implants don’t need removal for cleaning and don’t interfere with taste or speech. They offer greater comfort and durability, making them a preferred choice for those seeking a more natural and maintenance-free option.
