The Importance of Dental Implants

The importance of dental implants cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, this is the only solution we recommend for missing teeth. Actually, an increasing number of people are discovering the benefits of dental implants.

The three components of a dental implant

They resemble small, specially designed screws and are made of titanium. The implant screws are used as replacements for the roots of missing teeth.

Dental implants are designed to blend in with natural teeth and are used as a solid foundation for permanent and fixed teeth. It consists of three basic parts, which include the dental implant, the abutment connector, and the dental prosthesis (crown).

    (i) The implant, which is placed and fused with the patient’s jaw, is the new artificial root.

    (ii) The abutment connector is above the gum line. It secures and supports a crown, denture, or bridge that is placed over it.

    (iii) Finally, the dental prosthesis (a crown or a bridge) sits on the abutment and functions like a real tooth.

Implants prevent the remaining teeth from moving

When a tooth is lost, space is created that leads to bone loss. Due to normal stress and oral pressures, the teeth that remain next to the space begin to move. This happens because there is no support where the tooth has been lost. As a result, your straight, healthy teeth begin to shift and become unstable.

This problem can lead to bone loss and eventually the loss of more teeth. However, if the gaps are filled with dental implants, and in some cases bone grafts, then these problems can be prevented.

The Importance of Dental Implants

One of the main reasons dental implants are so essential is that they allow you to chew your food properly. Remember, chewing food adequately helps you digest it more effectively.

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair.

Consequently, people with dental implants chew their food the same way they would if they had normal, natural teeth.

Once you have dental implants, you can eat whatever you like. Implants are the closest thing to having natural teeth. They are strong, stable, and very aesthetic.

This patient came from the US. His local dentist wanted to remove all his teeth! However, the patient had other priorities. He wanted to save his natural teeth and place implants where teeth couldn’t be saved. This was an amazing transformation. 

Improve self-confidence

In addition to offering health benefits, dental implants are also important because they give you more self-confidence. If you have missing teeth, it’s easy to feel bad about your appearance and not smile so freely. However, once you’ve had dental implant treatment, you can start to feel good about your appearance. You will enjoy those belly-aching laughs with family and friends again, and not be afraid to smile!

The Importance of Dental Implants – Other Considerations

Comfort is another important benefit of dental implants. And of course, they are incredibly effective with a success rate of up to 98%.

If you take proper care of your implants, they should last a lifetime. Caring for implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, professional dental cleanings, and preventive check-ups.
