How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants actually fill the gap left by your missing tooth. A metal implant is surgically implanted into the jawbone and replaces the tooth’s root, bonding with the bone tissue there. Then, an artificial tooth called a crown is attached atop the implant. This natural looking prosthetic tooth blends in with your existing teeth and, once you have healed from the implant surgery, you can use your new implant exactly the same way as you would with your natural teeth.
How Can Dental Implants Help Restore My Confidence?
Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are permanent and you won’t have to worry about them slipping out when you smile or eat. You won’t need to bother with messy adhesives to attach them or leave them to soak in cleansers. Dental implants can be cleaned just like your natural teeth. You can still brush and floss normally and no one will know you had an implant unless you told them.
Implants can help restore your confidence in your oral health as well. When you lose a permanent tooth, your jawbone can actually change shape and harm the structure of your mouth and stability of your bite. Dental implants replace the root from the missing tooth, preserving your jawbone’s structure and minimizing teeth movement.
