Or, perhaps you have loose teeth that need to be stabilized after treatment of advanced gum disease. If any of these situations keep you from feeling good about yourself and your smile, dental implants may be a solution for you. Technological advancements in dental materials and techniques have improved the success rate of implants, enabling many patients to enjoy comfort and confidence with their oral health. Dental implants are artificial substitutes for natural tooth roots. Replacement teeth are attached to the part of the implant that projects through the gums.
Dental implants can provide non-removable tooth replacements in the toothless law.
Dental implants can provide support for a full denture, making it more secure and comfortable. Dental implants can support a fixed bridge, eliminating the need for a removable partial denture. Dental implants can assist in the replacement of a single tooth without the need to alter adjacent natural teeth. Although dental implants have brought a comfortable, confident smile to many patients, they are not for everyone. The ideal candidate has good general health, good oral health and adequate bone in the jaw to support the implant.
