All About Dental Implants

Your oral health is as vital as the health of any other part of your body. This is because when left unattended, it can cause various other health issues. Many people are not proactive in taking care of their oral health because they associate any corrective measures with aesthetic reasons rather than health reasons. This is typically not the case, as evidenced by a professional like Hilliard implant dentist. More about what an implant dentist does and its benefits are discussed below.

What do implant dentists do?

Implant dentists use dental implants to replace the roots of teeth. These implants offer a steady foundation for removable replacement or fixed teeth that are made in the likeness of your natural teeth.

Dental implant procedure

Your implant dentist and other associated professionals must formulate a personalized treatment plan first. This plan needs to cater to your specific needs while being the best implant option you have.

The implant of the root of your tooth is a tiny post put into the tooth’s bone socket. The jawbone reforms around the titanium post, providing a steady jaw base. This heals in eight weeks.

After jawbone bonding, another small post is placed on the previous one to hold the new tooth. Impressions of your teeth and a model of your bite are created. The new tooth is made based on the model and subsequently attached to the last post added.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental implants have many uses that lead to multiple benefits, including:

·         Dentures that do not fit well result in slipping teeth within your mouth, making you slur or mumble your words. These implants allow you to speak without worrying your teeth may fall out, thus improving speech.

·         Dental implants are made to look like your natural teeth. They are also made to fuse with your bone becoming fixed and improving your appearance.

·         Sliding dentures may make chewing challenging. Dental implants work like your teeth, enabling you to eat easier without pain or discomfort.

·         Implants are made for long-term use; thus, they reduce the discomfort of removable dentures

·         Dental implants do not involve decreasing other teeth, unlike a dental bridge. Most nearby teeth do not need alteration for implant support, thus leaving many teeth intact, encouraging overall oral health. Oral hygiene is also enhanced as the implants allow ease of access between your teeth.

·         Implants improve the appearance of your smile and, in turn, make you feel better about your appearance and enhance self-esteem

·         Removable dentures are temporary and thus require you to remove them while constantly applying adhesives to make them stay in place. Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience and embarrassment of removing them as they are fixed.

·         If implants are taken care of properly, they are durable and may last for a lifetime

Your smile is among the first things new people see when meeting you. If you are self-conscious about it, you may not be as confident when interacting with people. Check us out online for any implant dentist inquiries, or call our offices in Hilliard, OH.
