Replacing lost teeth

People who experience tooth decay, periodontal disease, or injury affecting the mouth can suffer tooth loss. Dentists advise patients with this condition to get dental implants to fill the gap caused by such occasions.

Dental implants have a recorded success rate of up to 98%. Dental implants will replace the patient’s lost tooth, ensuring a strong foundation for permanent or removable tooth replacement. Each implant is designed to match the patient’s natural teeth from the roots up for a comfortable fit.

The tooth root implant made of titanium will be placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth to act as the replacement tooth root. The jawbone will then grow around the implant, which will anchor the implanted metal post securely in the jaw. It will take six-12 weeks for it to heal totally.

Although one can always opt for dentures, dental implants are more comfortable to use. Some poor-fitting dentures can easily slip within the mouth when talking, laughing, or chewing food. Dental implants, however, have a strong hold and comfortable fit that allows patients to speak, laugh, and eat without worries. Additionally, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
