Helpful Information about Dental Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
A Dental Implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the upper or lower jawbone beneath your gums. The Implant fuses with the jawbone and acts as a support for artificial teeth. Dental Implants are a high-tech way to replace missing teeth, offering more stability than traditional bridgework since they do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
Why Are Dental Implants So Popular?
They are typically the best option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental Implants look and feel very close to your natural teeth. Implant supported teeth:
- Function, look and feel like natural teeth
- Allow you to speak, laugh and smile with confidence
- Improve biting pressure
- Are comfortable and stay in place
- Preserve natural teeth because they do not need adjacent teeth for support
- Are cared for the same way you care for natural teeth
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you’re healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you’re probably healthy enough to receive Dental Implants. Some conditions or diseases that affect whether Dental Implants will fuse successfully to your bone include cancer, radiation to the jaw, smoking, and uncontrolled periodontal (gum) disease. The major limiting factor in determining whether you can have an implant to replace a missing tooth is whether there is sufficient bone remaining to accept the implant. This can be determined with an x-ray and a thorough examination of your oral tissues and supporting jawbone.
