A dental prosthetic shouldn’t be just a patch job. The role of a dental prosthetic is to replace a missing tooth. You don’t want that replacement to breakdown or move out of alignment after it has been placed. Then you’ll face the same issues you did before the prosthetic. Instead, you want a dental prosthetic that rebuilds your smile for the future. Your dental prosthetic should be made to last. Dental implants do just that. Implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, giving you stability and functionality for decades to come. It’s time to rebuild your smile now.
Dental Implants Are Made of Durable Titanium
You may not be familiar with what, exactly, dental implants are. Dental implants are prosthetics made of biocompatible titanium. They look like small, cylindrical posts that your dentist will surgically implant into your jawbone. That means that implants need time to heal after surgery. However, during this recovery period, your jawbone will actually heal around the dental implant, holding it securely in place. Since the implant is made of titanium, it is built to stand up to wear and tear over time, so you won’t have to address your tooth loss issue again any time soon.
Dental Implants Can Create a Smile that Looks Great
Dental implants don’t just have longevity going for them, but they also serve as a base for a lifelike tooth replacement. Even a great, functional prosthetic still needs to look right. You wouldn’t appreciate your dental prosthetic as much if everyone who saw you smile could tell which tooth was unnatural. Dental implants are usually topped with a dental crown, which can be fabricated to precise specifications from your teeth. The dental crown fill fit comfortably alongside your natural teeth and it will blend in appearance-wise.
Dental Implants Stabilize Your Jawbone and Vice Versa
Dental implants also hold everything in place. Of course, the jawbone gives a dental implant its added stability, but the bite stimulation that your implant creates can actually fortify the jawbone. When you have missing teeth in your smile, the remaining teeth may start to shift and move into the vacant space. That can create a crooked smile, an irregular bite, and lead to added wear on your remaining healthy teeth. Getting dental implants in place keeps everything stable.
