Losing a tooth can be disheartening; we know that. It can affect your dental health and facial appearance to a great extent. Also, people who lose their teeth tend to feel less confident than those with healthy, attractive teeth.
In earlier days, if you had lost a tooth, then the chances of replacing it with the new one were relatively low. Today, all thanks to the progression in dental science, we have treatments like dental implants, which offer the best teeth replacement solutions.
Dental implants are titanium-made artificial teeth roots used as a strong foundation for placing fixed or removable artificial teeth. It has an average success rate of 98%.
This procedure can be painful, so sedative or anesthesia is given during the procedure.
So, what makes dental implants one of the most popular teeth replacement procedures? Let see in detail:
The best part of getting dental implants is that most patients can't tell the difference between a natural tooth and an implant, as it functions and appears like a natural tooth.
If taken good care of, dental implants can last for a lifetime compared to the bridges that last for around ten years.
Jaw in the empty space deteriorates due to the lack of stimulation because of the absence of the tooth. Since a dental implant replaces the tooth and root, it helps in providing necessary stimulation for natural bone growth.
Usually, the missing tooth gap makes the adjacent tooth crookedly shift towards the gap, which pulls the teeth out of the position and affects the bite and your appearance. TMJ can also be caused due to a poor bite which leads to pain and headache.
Remember that you need to follow a dental care routine at home after a dental implant procedure, giving importance to hygiene and regular dental visits. Want to know more about dental implants and other dental replacement procedures.
