If you have a tooth that is broken or missing, then you might want to consider dental implants.
One of the things that you can do to determine if implants are a good fit for you is to visit a dentist who specializes in the process.
They’ll do an x-ray to check the extent of the damage to the tooth or teeth that you are concerned about.
The x-ray can determine if there are other teeth that need to be pulled and replaced that you don't know about.
When you get implants, you will have a natural smile.
The implants will look and feel like natural teeth, allowing you to brush them like normal and eat many of the foods that you enjoy.
If you want to have teeth that look and feel as natural as possible, then implants are a great option compared to dentures, which need to be taken out of the mouth to clean, and can get loose or even break.
Implants are much more stable than some of the other options when it comes to missing or broken teeth.
There is a titanium rod placed in the jaw bone. The new tooth is adhered to the rod once the rod bonds with the bone.
The entire process could take a few months, but you will have a tooth that won't move around and the teeth next to it won’t be adversely affected.
An implant can help to keep the other teeth in the mouth from shifting if you are getting an implant for a missing tooth. With the proper care, your implant can last about 10 years or possibly longer.
You might need to get the implant adjusted after it's been in your mouth for several years, but you'll find that there is little work involved in caring for the tooth aside from the care that you would provide for your other teeth.
If there are cracks or chips in your tooth, bacteria can enter and lead to an abscess.
An implant can help to prevent infection.
Another advantage with an implant is your mouth won't have a sunken appearance, and you can maintain the natural shape of your jaw line.
Another benefit is that they usually aren't receptive to cavities, which means that you won't have to worry about getting a filling ‌
‌or seeing a small hole form in the tooth that causes pain in the nerve. This is because the material doesn't allow for a cavity to form.
