By transmitting the natural forces of chewing to the jaw, implants increase bone density. Dental implants have been proven not only to stop bone loss, but in some cases actually to reverse bone loss and restore the health of the jaw. BioHorizons' implants are the first dental implants to be specifically designed to take into account the varying strength requirements of the different bone densities found in the human jaw. That means better health for you over the long term. Another health advantage that implants provide over conventional bridgework is that implants prevent the necessity of having other teeth cut down, in order to build a bridge or crown, which is necessary in certain clinical situations.
Implants are remarkably strong, and remember - they stay put, unlike removable dentures.
So you can eat and enjoy whatever you wish. Everything from apples to deep-fried anything. The components of the implant system are designed for strength. For example, the components of the Maestro System by BioHorizons are manufactured from a biocompatible titanium alloy, which offers a yield strength 65 percent higher than the strongest grade of commercially pure titanium. The maximum bite force of a traditional denture ranges from 5 to 50 pounds.
