subject: Dental Implants Look And Feel Just Like Real Teeth [print this page] A dental implant definitely has many advantages in terms of replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that is placed into the jaw bone to provide a strong and secure fitting. Its main function is to provide an anchor like fixture that can hold a replacemtn tooth such as a denture or a porcelain crown. When it is surgically anchored in the bone, the bone will begin to fuse around the implant meaning that it becomes a part of your jaw structure and an even stronger anchor for the the replacement tooth to be placed upon.
A dental implant is the only way that a replacement tooth can be effectively and securely fixed into the jawbone. Dental implants also provides you with permanent dentures, meaning that they do not need to be removed, as this can sometime be a pain. You will not only start to see an improvement within your smile, but you will also start to see an improvement in how your teeth perform functionaly. You will be able to bite and chew better than you did before.
Dental implants look and feel just like real teeth. Now that your smile is no longer a source of embarrassment you can go out and show all your friends and peers just how beautiful your smile is. Dental implants are a permanent fixture which cannot be removed after the have been placed into the mouth. You need to clean your implants and care for them, just as you take care of all your teeth. It is important that they are kept clean and free of plaque and bacteria so that they can function properly and do not need further restorative work being performed on them later on.
Whereas in the past if you required a bridge to be placed within your mouth, the adjacent teeth woulod be the ones to take all the strain. But if you have a dental implant, the adjacent teeth are not needed in any way at all. The adjacent teeth are also stopped from moving a drifting into the space left by the missing tooth and causing further mor complicated problems.
A dental implant is much better solution to missing teeth than a denture is, not only because it will last for a much longer time, but because there is no need to keep removing them and cleaning them all the time, they can be cleaned as normal teeth would during brushing.
