Understanding Implant Dentistry

Implant dentistry is the most effective and structurally sound way to replace one or more missing teeth.

2013-04-27

PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 27, 2013 (Press-News.org) Implant dentistry is the most effective and structurally sound way to replace one or more missing teeth. With dental implants, your implant dentist can not only restore strength and beauty to your smile, but help prevent jaw shrinkage and collapse as well.

When you lose a tooth, you also lose its root. Unfortunately, it is the root of your tooth that signals to your body that bone is necessary in that area of your jaw. Without these signals, your body will reabsorb the minerals around a missing tooth, untimely resulting in jaw shrinkage and a change to the structure of your face.

Dentures and dental bridges place restorations on top of your gums. This can restore some function and, temporarily, increase aesthetics. But over time, these types of restorations will need to be readjusted or replaced. Only dental implants prevent jaw shrinkage and provide a permanent solution for tooth replacement.

Benefits of Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are inserted into your jaw where they become accepted as a new tooth root. This allows them to prevent structural changes to your jaw, but is not their only benefit over other tooth replacement options.

Additional benefits of dental implants include:
- No damage to adjacent teeth - unlike bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support, implants are supported by your jawbone
- No risk of slipping or falling out - dentures can become loose and fall out at inopportune times, but dental implants are held in place by your jaw, preventing these awkward moments

Dental implants are the strongest, most reliable, and most natural-looking tooth replacement option available. They are also incredibly easy to take care of and can, potentially, provide a lifetime of function.

Dental implants are often the best solution for replacing missing teeth, but may not be right for everyone. During your initial consultation with an experienced implant dentist, it can be determined if this is the best solution for you.
