Benefits of dental implants
With dental implants your smile is rehabilitated as closely as possible to its natural state. By replacing the entire tooth, including the root, you can have teeths that look as natural as possible, with a strong and stable foundation that allows bite and chew comfortably.
Implants help preserve the integrity of facial structures. By preventing bone restoration that normally occur with the loss of teeth, facial structures remain intact avoiding wrinkles associated with the loss of teeth. This is particularly important when all teeth, the lower third of the face collapse or if implants are not placed to preserve the bone, giving that “look” characteristic of people where teeth are missing.
The smile is improved when replacement teeth look more like natural teeth. Even when a single tooth is missing, aesthetic long term are generally much better with an implant replacement tooth support compatible with traditional dental bridge. This is particularly important in the front of the mouth where a visible preventing bone defect is critical to the natural appearance.
Adjacent teeth are not compromised by replacing missing teeth. Tooth replacement with traditional bridges adjacent teeth requires the missing tooth, making them more prone to complications, so that the bridge can be cemented on them. This tooth structure, the enamel cannot be replaced and the long term health is compromised. Partial dentures have hooks that engage adjacent teeth, putting pressure on them. Eventually, these teeth may loosen as a result of this pressure. Replace missing teeth with crowns and bridges supported by implants does not involve the adjacent natural teeth, so not compromised or damaged.
We can improve the quality of life of our patients with dental restorations that look, feel and function like natural teeth. When using denture with implants, the appearance of the smile is more natural and teeth look like natural teeth. The result is greater comfort and confidence when smiling, talking and eating. If partial dentures and are replaced by teeth implants. Dramatically improves the quality of life of patients.
Proper oral hygiene: It is much easier to take care of an implant crown, which can be cleaned like a natural tooth; compared to a fixed bridge.
Improved appearance: Since implants retain the bone avoiding deterioration of facial structures. The collapse of the lower third of the face caused by tooth loss can be visually corrected with these dental implant supported prosthesis. The appearance of wrinkles around the mouth caused by the collapse of the back bite, or total collapse of the facial structure is virtually eliminated.
Many of those who now enjoy the benefits of dental implants talk to me self-esteem and self-confidence has been restored as a result of better appearance, functionality, comfort and health.
Replacing a single tooth using dental implant
When a single tooth is missing, the two most common treatment options in United States are the traditional dental fixed bridge and a crown supported by implant. When a traditional bridge is used to replace a missing tooth, the adjacent teeth are worn in order to cement the fixed bridge in place.
This method of tooth replacement can be very aesthetic and functional. However, not a fixed dental bridge that keeps the bone surrounding the root. Since there is already a root to hold the bone in place, the bone deteriorates or reabsorbed.
There are many advantages in the restoration of a single tooth with a crown supported by an implant:
- It looks, feels and works like a natural tooth
- It is much more aesthetic on long term
- No need to grind the adjacent natural teeth
- The bone is preserved, preventing a bone defect visible
- is more hygienic (easy to clean) a fixed bridge
Replacing several teeth with dental implants when more than one tooth is missing, there are three common treatment options in United States that your dentist will choose from: a fixed bridge, a removable partial denture and implant-supported bridge. In this situation, the benefits supported implants is obvious. A further teeth are removable prostheses, as a partial denture, actually accelerates bone restoration, resulting in faster bone deterioration. Furthermore, the hooks holding the partial denture put extreme pressure on the natural teeth which engage loosening them and in many cases, eventually leading to tooth loss.
Advantages of replacing several missing teeth with implants bridges are:
- They look feel and function like natural teeth
- They are much more comfortable and stable than partial dentures
- Natural ability to bite and chew restores
- They almost stop the process of bone restoration (damage)
- The integrity of facial structures remains as it supposed
- Adjacent natural teeth are not compromised (ground in forms or loose plug)
Replacing boxes removable dentures or fixed tooth for teeth with implants. In the past, people who are missing all their teeth dentures had no choice. This prosthesis has numerous disadvantages, such as:
- Dentures feel uncomfortable and often painful
- Dentures do not look natural, especially when eating
- As the bone continues to disappear, dentures become loose and may fall out when laughing sneezing or coughing without the use of adhesives
- People without teeth and supporting bone, age visibly much faster
- Dentures usually undermines the confidence of the person himself (that missing parts of the body and does not feel Full or natural)
- People with dentures cannot eat certain foods, such as meat, corn on the cob and apples
- People with dentures usually have bad encourage these problems can be solved with implant supported replacement teeth, which are stable (firmly attached to the implants) and to maintain the integrity of the facial structures to preserve the bone are more comfortable and stable than traditional dentures
- They almost stop the process of bone restoration (damage)
- The integrity of facial structures remains
Appearance / Improved
- It is not necessary to cover the roof of the mouth, so the food can be tested
- The coatings and repairs are rare compared with traditional prosthesis
- Natural ability to bite and chew restored
Is treatment painful?
As with any surgery, there may be some discomfort. Local anesthesia is used to eliminate any discomfort at the time of the procedure. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable with the procedure than they had anticipated. The dentist will prescribe medication to ease any discomfort that may occur.
How will I feel after the treatment?
It is normal to have some small bruises and swelling in the gum tissue and soft. But usually the discomfort, if any, is a common analgesic. You should expect to work the next day.
How will I care for my implants?
Like natural teeth, your new teeth must be cared for and checked regularly. Brushing and flossing is important and will be explained to you by your dentist or dental hygienist.
Improve your appearance … Dental implants can give you the smile you’ve lost, or the smile you’ve always wanted. It is no longer embarrassed in a conversation or while smiling and laughing.
Eat the foods you love…
With dental implants, you can eat lettuce, apples, meat, and even corn on the cob with a permanent solution confidence.
Only a dental implant can replace the root of a missing tooth. If the root is not replaced, bone loss occurs as a result undesirable consequences such as inability to place implants without bone graft procedures. The implants can eliminate the need for sticky adhesives for dentures, and even the need for prostheses completely.
Unlike traditional bridge restoration techniques, the implants eliminate the need to cut two healthy natural teeth to replace a missing tooth.
