Dental implant
People lose their teeth all the time for various reasons such as trauma (when they are eliminated), caries, gum disease or old age. Regardless of the cause, missing teeth need to be replaced, both for functional and aesthetic reasons.
The best known solutions for missing teeth are prosthesis and fixed bridge, but over time the dental implant has become the most popular element in replacing teeth, being a long-term solution. In addition, the dental implant slows down bone loss and preserves healthy tooth tissue.
The dental implant is an artificial replacement for the tooth root, made of titanium.
It is anchored inside the jaw bone and has the role of supporting one or more artificial teeth. Another goal of the dental implant is to make a close connection between the outside of the implant and the bone tissue so that it can “fuse”, creating a fixed support for the new teeth.
By replacing missing teeth, implants offer more than just an aesthetic accessory, being a necessity of “good luck” in the consumption of (all) food.
Although there are a number of possibilities for missing tooth reconstruction, none have proven to be as effective as an implant.
People who have lost their teeth are aware when they tend to smile or talk. In addition, irregular bites with missing teeth have a negative effect on eating habits, which can lead to secondary health problems such as malnutrition.
Regardless of the cause of the loss of teeth, dental implants are a simple remedy with proven results.
The dental implant has characteristics such as: a strong and long-lasting structure.
An implant not only looks like a regular tooth, but can “behave” just like that.
Implants also require the same “treatment” of care as natural teeth: brushing and flossing daily, as well as regular checkups at the dentist.
