If you’ve lost a tooth, you may have noticed other things missing too. Perhaps you’ve lost your natural smile or the ability to bite into an apple, a cookie, or other hard foods. Your self-confidence might be affected, feeling bad about the visible gap in your teeth that others might also notice.
The solution to these problems is provided by dental implants. Dental implants have over thirty years of research and development behind them. They are completely safe and biocompatible due to the material they are made from. This material is called titanium, which has been used in medicine for more than fifty years.
Dental implants allow us to replace one or more missing teeth without damaging the neighboring healthy teeth. They are also a solution for people with no teeth who use dentures.
A tooth consists of two parts: the crown, visible in the mouth, and the root, anchored in the bone to hold the tooth in place, providing stability. When a tooth is lost, the root and surrounding jawbone are also lost, leading to wrinkles and an aged appearance. Dental implants act like natural roots, preventing bone and gum resorption.
Loss of one or more teeth can alter speech, causing lisping or unclear pronunciation, impacting our psychology and social interactions. Dental implants can reverse this by replacing missing teeth and correcting speech.
Dental implants may seem expensive initially but are actually the most economical solution in the long term.
