The price of negligence is always heavy. The same rule applies to your teeth’s health. Although several milestones have been crossed in dentistry, the loss of teeth has always been an itch among many! This condition arises due to lack of oral hygiene and occasional brushing and flossing of teeth. Until a few years ago, the only means of replacing missing teeth were with the help of dental crowns and bridges. But with a recent shift in technology, dental science have improved this with the fantastic benefits of dental implants.
What are dental implants?
Dental science terms implants as artificial tooth roots. They are designed to provide a structural foundation for artificial teeth (fixed or removable) which will closely match the shade of your existing teeth.
What are the several benefits of implants?
Dental implants are bombarded with several benefits that conventional methods of teeth replacement didn’t always have. Here are the benefits of implants.
- Improved speech
- Better appearance
- Ease chewing
- Highly durable
- Extreme convenience
The above reasons also support why one must opt for implants over traditional methods of teeth replacement. The latter is known to have an extremely high success rate and is known to have a longer life-span.
How do implants function?
Implants are different as compared to the rest as they are fixed into the jawbone providing lasting stability and proper anchorage. The ADA approves two different types of implants for teeth replacement: Endosteal implants and Subperiosteal implants. The former requires a surgical insertion as compared to the latter. Both provide extreme durability and better means of supporting artificial teeth structures.
