Teeth Implants Look And Feel Of Natural Teeth
Tooth implants are artificial substitutes for natural tooth roots. The tooth implants are small anchors shaped like screws or cylinders and are placed into the jawbone. Replacement teeth are attached to the part of the implant that projects through the gums. These tooth or teeth implants are effective, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. Most specialists who use dental implants work as a team with the surgeon who surgically prepares your jaw and a prosthodontist, the restorative specialist who makes your replacement teeth.
Tooth implants can provide non-removable tooth replacement in the toothless jaw. A tooth or dental implant can provide support for a full denture, making it more secure and comfortable. Dental implants can also support a fixed bridge, eliminating the need for a removable partial denture. Of course dental implants can also replace just one missing tooth. Instead of cutting the adjacent teeth (and risk root canal therapy!) as we did years ago, we can now avoid connecting the teeth and replace only the one tooth that is missing!
Although tooth or teeth 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. Equally important, the ideal candidate is willing to commit to conscientious oral hygiene and regular dental visits. We can help you decide if a dental implant Is right for you. Essential to the decision is a comprehensive dental examination.
