What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional solutions, implants integrate with the bone, offering superior stability and longevity.
Common types of dental implants include:
- Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Used when multiple teeth are missing, providing a secure alternative to traditional bridges.
- Full-Arch Implants: A complete solution for replacing an entire row of teeth, often with All-on-4 or All-on-6 techniques.
Signs You Might Need Dental Implants
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you experience:
- Missing Teeth: Whether due to injury, decay, or disease, gaps in your smile can impact your oral health.
- Loose Dentures or Bridges: If your current dental solution lacks stability, implants can provide a secure and lasting alternative.
- Difficulty Chewing: Missing teeth can make eating difficult and uncomfortable.
- Bone Loss in Jaw: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration over time.
- Unstable or Damaged Teeth: If a tooth is beyond repair, an implant can replace it with a strong and natural-looking solution.
