How can dental implants improve your life? Missing teeth impact health and confidence, but dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution to restore functionality and aesthetics.
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile—it can affect your health, confidence, and quality of life. Whether caused by decay, injury, or age, gaps in your smile often lead to difficulty chewing and self-consciousness in social situations. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a transformative solution. The Addison Dentist provides dental implants that act as artificial tooth roots, restoring both function and aesthetics to make your smile whole again.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums. These posts serve as sturdy anchors for replacement teeth. The process typically involves three main steps. First, the implant is placed into the jawbone. Second, a period of healing occurs where the implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant. This structure mimics the natural tooth root, providing a stable foundation that feels and looks just like your natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
There are compelling reasons to choose implants over other restoration methods. Primarily, they restore full functionality, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with total confidence. Beyond immediate function, implants play a crucial role in long-term oral health. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can begin to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. Implants replace the tooth root, stimulating the jawbone and preventing bone loss. This helps preserve your facial structure, avoiding the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth. With proper care, these durable restorations can last a lifetime.
