Dental implants have the ability to change the lives of anyone who needs them. The first impression a person makes is the most important and a missing tooth can give people the wrong impression. Also, missing teeth can make people insecure, cause depression and create health issues. With new technologies, it is easier than ever to create a perfect smile for people of all ages.
The Details
Dental implants are artificial teeth used to replace missing teeth that act, feel and look the same as natural teeth. New technologies have made incredible strides in improving both the process and the materials. Some of these technologies and ground-breaking processes are being used to create greater stability in the implants through bone and tissue regeneration. Also, the materials being used in the new implants make the teeth look much more like the existing teeth in the patient so it is not obvious a tooth has been replaced. You can have two types of implants. Endosteal implants use either blades, cylinders or screws to secure the teeth being replaced. They are also the most common type as they are used with patients who have dentures or bridges. Subperiosteal are the other types which are often used with patients who cannot use traditional dentures.
