ARE YOU MISSING ONE OR MORE TEETH? DENTAL IMPLANTS COULD BE THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR YOU
Missing teeth can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, the space created by missing teeth can easily become infected with bacteria, causing other teeth to shift out of place, and making it difficult for people to speak or eat correctly. Overtime the missing teeth lead to loss of bone structure and sunken facial features.
Reality is teeth can be lost for a number of reasons, including cavities, periodontal disease or trauma. Did you know that by age 17, more than 7.3 percent of U.S. children have lost one permanent tooth; and by age 50, Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth?
Implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available to replace missing teeth. Dental implant restorations generally look, feel and act like natural teeth. They act just like a natural tooth root to anchor restorations in the mouth.
Dental implants may offer you significant advantages compared to other treatment options: improved bone health and enhanced appearance, which may lead to greater self-confidence and a better quality of life. Ask Dr. Shrestha today if you are a candidate for dental implants.
IMPLANT BENEFITS
- Improved Quality Of Life
Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for tooth loss and are cared for with brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, anchor a bridge, or hold dentures tightly in place. Dental implants also eliminate the need to use messy dental adhesives. - Chew Again
With implants most patients are thrilled that they can once again eat without limitations. Once again implant patients can enjoy the fruits, veggies, tough meats or chewy snacks that were so difficult to eat when teeth are missing or damaged. Studies have shown that chewing ability is generally restored at least 70% with implants. - Enhanced Appearance
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to shrink away, or resorb and becomes increasingly brittle. This compromises the adjacent teeth and increases the chance of a changed appearance. Dental implants help to prevent or slow bone resorption, helping to preserve your natural facial contours. - What Is Single Tooth Replacement?
If you are missing one tooth in a given area of your mouth, your dentist may recommend that you consider one dental implant to replace the root of the missing tooth and an implant crown to rebuild your tooth in a beautiful and natural looking manner. An implant with an implant crown offers a long-lasting solution for a missing tooth and does not require anchorage to any adjacent teeth.
IMPLANT Q & A
- What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an excellent solution for missing teeth and serve as a replacement for tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth and are made to match your natural teeth’s appearance. Implants are made of titanium, which is lightweight, durable and biocompatible, which means that it will not be rejected by the body. - What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
Dental implants improve your appearance because they look and feel just like your own teeth. Because they fuse with the jawbone, they become strong permanent teeth. This also preserves bone which would otherwise be lost in areas where teeth are missing. That loss of bone not only weakens the bones but changes the contours of the face. Most importantly dental implants improve your self-esteem by giving you back your smile. Since they don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does, more of your teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Implants are extremely durable and with good care, many implants can last a lifetime. - How Painful Are Dental Implants?
Most patients say that there is very little discomfort associated with the procedure. Many patients describe that implants involve less pain than a typical tooth extraction. - How Do I Care for Dental Implants?
Dental implants require you to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing twice a day, flossing at least once a day, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash, and regular cleanings and dental exams.
