Are you missing one or more teeth? When teeth are missing, they can cause the other teeth to shift and will result in headaches, jaw pain, and a variety of other problems. If you choose to have a Dental Implant, your smile can be restored and no one will know that it’s not an original tooth.
Individuals will lose their teeth because of an accident, injury, disease, and many other situations. A dentist will never judge an individual on why they lost their teeth, but they will do everything possible to perform an implant that will look and feel like their lost tooth.
Does The Implant Have To Be Removed Daily Or Weekly?
A dental implant is not the same as a bridge that needs to be removed when food becomes lodged between the bridge and a person’s gums. Once a dental implant is complete, the patient will never have to remove it for cleaning, brushing, or flossing.
How Does The Implant Stay In Place?
A Dental Implant will remain in place with the help of a titanium post. The dentist will insert the titanium post into the jawbone after making a tiny incision in the gums. They will drill a very small hole into the bone and insert the post.
The titanium post will fuse to the bone after several weeks of healing. Once the bone has healed, the post will be as strong as a patient’s original roots of the tooth.
What Will Cover The Post?
After the post has healed, a patient will return to the dentist to have a permanent crown attached to the post. The crown will be the correct size, shape, and color to match the other teeth. Once an implant is completed, the patient will be able to care for the implant in the same manner as their natural teeth.
In addition to missing teeth, an implant can be used to hold dentures in their place. The implant can be used for top or bottom dentures.
