A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth designed to replace a natural tooth that has fallen out or been removed. Implants can replace a single tooth or be used for a full mouth restoration. An implant feels great because it is a natural, comfortable, economical, and durable long-term solution for missing teeth. It has similar chewing performance as a natural tooth. It does not cause any damage to your adjacent teeth. And implanted teeth have no chance of developing cavities. Dental implants look and feel lifelike. They integrate into the structure of your bone, preventing bone loss and gum recession. First, tiny titanium posts are placed into the jawbone. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. Because titanium isn’t recognized by the body’s immune system, there generally isn’t a risk of it being rejected the way other materials may be. Each prosthetic tooth attaches to its own implant, with a single prosthesis (crown) to replace one missing tooth and a partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) to replace two or more teeth.
Porcelain veneers are usually called “instant orthodontics.” The veneers are made up of thin porcelain shells attached to the teeth’ front surfaces. Veneers can be used to correct the appearance of minor disorders. They can also create a more beautiful, even shape for your teeth. Also, they cover up stains on your teeth too. Each set of veneers is made according to personal specifications to fit and amplify your smile and face perfectly. In addition to improving your smile, veneers can also strengthen teeth that have become weak over time due to injury or extensive work on your teeth. Contemporary dental porcelains are exceptionally real in nature. Their semi-translucent appearance makes it difficult to differentiate them from your natural teeth.
Why Do I Need A Dental Implant?
Missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, filling the space where a tooth used to be. This can eventually cause issues with your bite and bone structure and interfere with your ability to eat. People who have several missing teeth may see changes to the shape of their face, as the area around the cheek or mouth where teeth are missing typically sinks in. An implant is one of the best ways to fix this issue. An implant lets you chew as naturally as you would with your natural teeth. You don’t have to worry about slipping dentures or not being able to bite into certain foods. If you’re self-conscious about your smile, implants can help restore your confidence. Today, implants are changing the way people live and often are a desirable alternative to a full or partial denture or a bridge. Dental implants allow you to smile, speak, and eat with comfort and confidence.
