Implant dentistry is the most progressive, the best way to deal with tooth substitution. Implants give realistic looking, permanent prosthetics to supplant your missing teeth. They look like natural teeth, however, they additionally stay stationary in the mouth and are changeless. Regardless of whether you are just missing one tooth, an implant can restore your smile without requiring a remaking of the adjacent teeth.
What Makes A Good Candidate For Implants?
You are most likely to be a good candidate for dental implants if you are in overall good health. Evaluation of your overall health, as well as the health of your mouth, helps determine how likely you are to heal thoroughly and successfully from an implant procedure. The healing process is vital to successful implants.
Some of the factors that make you a good candidate for dental implants include:
• Good dental health
• Good, consistent dental hygiene
• Healthy Gums
• No systemic health issues
• Non-smoker
Why Dental Implants Is Better Rather Than Dentures?
Implants are in many ways better than dentures when it comes to tooth replacement. They will not shift or move in your mouth. The titanium root portions help stimulate the bone in your jaw to grow so it is not resorbed over time, as often happens with dentures. They also will not require any adjustments over time.
Choosing Dental Implants
Having implants placed usually requires two procedures. First, you will have the implants placed into your jawbone. These need time to heal. During this healing time, the bone bonds to the titanium in the implants. If this bonding process, called osseointegration, is successful, your prosthetic teeth can be attached to the implants to give you a natural looking smile.
