Have you lost some or all of your natural teeth, or has it been recommended that you get your unhealthy teeth extracted? Periodontal disease, injury, tooth decay, permanent teeth that never erupted – whatever the reason is for your missing teeth, we have a great way to replace them. One of the most incredible innovations in dentistry over the years has been dental implants. If you are looking for a top-of-the-line natural and permanent solution for tooth loss replacement, Dr. Brent Engelberg would like to share more information about dental implants.
What is a Dental Implant?
You probably wouldn’t think that a titanium rod would be a healthy thing to implant into your jawbone. However, dental implants are made to be biocompatible, so your body will be right at home. In fact, it will be downright fooled. One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is that your body views them as tooth roots, so it will continue sending nutrients to the part of your mouth where the tooth is missing. No other tooth replacement does this. If jawbone density is a concern to you, dental implants are the way to go.
More Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants allow you to forgo the structure of a dental bridge. While bridges are a viable tooth replacement, they require attachment of the apparatus to the teeth on either side of the space where your tooth once was. This can lead to wear and tear, on healthy teeth. Additionally, all tooth replacements are great at keeping your existing teeth from drifting to the missing tooth space. If you do nothing to replace a missing tooth, you may end up with misalignment that can lead to even more dental problems in the future.
