Dental Implants
Many people have undergone teeth extraction treatment for various reasons, for example the tooth was fractured, or because of decay. Many are left with spaces from missing teeth which can make the simple task of eating food more difficult depending on where that space is. There are a variety of options to help manage these spaces as well as options to completely fill these spaces. One option is dental implants.b
Why you might want to choose dental implants:
- 1. Restorative crown or bridge can be shade matched to your natural teeth
- 2. Implants do not rely on support from the adjacent teeth.
- 3. Implants don’t have to be removed every night.
Some Disadvantages
- 1. Require Surgery
- 2. Multiple Appointments
- 3. Healing Time.
Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular to fill in those empty spaces caused by missing teeth. Implants are made of titanium and are placed into the jaw bone in the same position as the other teeth. After the implant has been placed, usually at least 3-6months is needed for healing time as the jaw bone needs time to precisely fuse the implant into place like real roots of our teeth.
After the healing time has passed, the final implant crown is placed on top of the implant. The implant crown can be tooth colored or gold.
