Dental implants in Ajax are artificial tooth replacements that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Although this may sound dramatic, the actual surgery is relatively short and computer-guided to ensure it is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
A dental implant consists of a small screw that is inserted surgically into the jawbone. An abutment, which is a special type of connector, is attached to the implant, and this supports the restoration.
Treatment is very popular because dental implants can provide long-lasting results, resulting in teeth that look and feel natural and strong. There are several benefits to choosing dental implants in Whitby, which are discussed below.
A Versatile Treatment
We can provide single dental implants that are restored with beautiful implant crowns. Two or more implants can support a bridge, as there is no need to replace every single tooth with an implant. Both dental implant crowns and bridges in Brooklin are permanently screwed in place, so they are nonremovable.
Implant dentures have connectors on the fitting surface that clip onto special connectors on implants. Relatively few dental implants can support a full denture comfortably and cost-effectively. Implant dentures can be easily removed for cleaning.
Durability
Well-planned and properly placed dental implants can last for years, provided you care for them correctly at home. Although dental implant treatment in Pickering may initially cost more than other tooth replacement options, it can become significantly more cost-effective over time.
Prevent Jawbone Loss
After tooth loss in Oshawa, the jawbone begins to resorb soon after. Much of this bone loss occurs in the first year after tooth loss.
Dental implants can help prevent jawbone loss. This is because they replicate real tooth roots, which stimulates the surrounding bone and reduces the risk of resorption.
Dental Implants Look Like Real Teeth
Our dental implant teeth in Newcastle are designed to create excellent aesthetics. We take enormous care in designing and fabricating teeth that look natural, working closely with our skilled team of dental technicians.
Protecting Facial Appearance
Teeth play a crucial role in supporting your cheeks and lips, and in maintaining the correct height between your upper and lower jaws. If you lose multiple teeth, it can alter your facial shape, reducing the height between your upper and lower jaws, and facial features can begin to sag inwards.
Dental implant teeth in Clarington restore these dimensions. They are designed to provide the right support for the muscles in your cheeks and lips, preventing a sunken-in appearance that can be prematurely aging.
Good Biting and Chewing Strength
When teeth are failing or missing, it can restrict your food choices. You may find some foods are impossible to chew properly, or that biting and chewing are too uncomfortable or painful.
Dental implant crowns and bridges offer a biting and chewing strength comparable to that of natural teeth. Implant dentures offer significantly improved biting and chewing strength compared to ordinary dentures, as they are secured to implants and cannot move.
Being able to eat a wider choice of foods makes it easier to eat nutritiously. A nutritious diet helps protect overall health by providing the body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to fight infections and diseases more effectively.
Learning if Implants are Right for You
Dental implants are suitable for most people with reasonable dental and overall health, and whose teeth and jaws have fully developed. However, some people might be less suitable for treatment, and we only recommend implants if we feel they have a very good chance of long-term success.
We can assess your suitability during an initial consultation at Durham Dental Solutions and provide much more information about implants and how they could benefit you.
