 Missing teeth can dramatically impact your overall health. When teeth are not replaced, the bone resorbs into your body and teeth start to shift. Your bite can change, creating TMJ problems and setting the stage for major dental problems.
To prevent future dental problems due to missing teeth, dental implants can successfully help guests regain a great smile with a full set of healthy teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots attached to the jawbone for incredible strength and supplemented with artificial teeth designed to look and feel like natural teeth. Choosing to replace teeth with dental implants can have positive effects on your dental health, including preventing vital bone loss, restoring healthy bite function, and possibly eliminating the need for bridges or dentures. Your dental implant dentist will implant the artificial tooth root with the endosteal technique, which means the dental implant is inserted into the jawbone, or the subperiosteal technique, which means the dental implant is placed on top of the jaw with a metal framework attached to the gum tissue.
During your dental implant placement, your dentist will use a titanium screw to duplicate a natural tooth root. This dental implant is inserted into or attached to the jawbone. Your dental implant placement will usually require 2–3 months to heal completely. Your dentist will then place a crown over the artificial tooth for maximum strength and protection. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, to support a bridge, to support a denture, and to eliminate the need for a partial denture.
