Dental Implants – An Introduction
Dental implants work as substitutes for lost teeth by replacing each tooth’s original root. The implant is one or more prosthetic teeth specially made to look and feel like normal teeth, tailored to fit your natural smile. Implants save your oral health by exerting pressure on your jaw similar to that which a natural tooth would, preventing the bone loss and structural damage that would otherwise ensue because of a lost tooth.
It can be devastating to lose a tooth; it not only damages your smile, but your confidence, self-image, and overall health. With a gap in your teeth, your visible face structure suffers and often becomes sunken and unattractive. You will also eat differently, choosing softer, chewier foods, which are often not as nutritional and can be detrimental to your oral and personal health. With implants, both your health and your confidence can be restored by maintaining the vital stability of your jaw and facial structure while allowing you to eat the food you love.
