Many adults think dental implants are the next best thing to having natural teeth, and they might be right. When you lose your teeth as a result of a traumatic injury, decay, or an illness, it can hurt your self-esteem. Dental implants are strong, stable teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
A dental implant is a metal post that a dentist implants into your jawbone beneath your gums. A dental implant is like an artificial tooth root. After the post is implanted and your mouth has healed, your dentist will attach the new replacement tooth, or crown, to the metal post permanently. The implants fuse to your jawbone, which makes them incredibly steady and secure.
These metal posts also work to help dentures, crowns, and bridges stay solidly fastened to your jaw.
On top of looking, feeling, and functioning like your natural teeth, dental implants provide the following benefits:
If you're missing teeth, you may be an ideal candidate for dental implants. Your jaw must be finished growing, and your gums must be healthy. Dental implants are not for children but are an excellent solution for adults.
You may also be a good candidate for implants if you're tired of having dentures that won't stay in place, or if you're ready to replace a bridge or partial dentures. Women or men looking for a more permanent, long-term solution to dental work may be good candidates for implants. Your dentist discusses all your options and answers your questions during your consultation.
