Your Destination for Dental Implants and Dental Implant Restorations in Lake Mary, FL
Dental implants are considered to be a better tooth restoration alternative than dentures or fixed bridges because of their higher strength and longevity. Dental implants do not require adjacent teeth for placement such as a fixed bridge.
Advantages of Dental Implants
When compared to fixed bridges and removable dentures supported by other teeth or gum tissue, implants offer numerous advantages:
- Better esthetics: Since implants are placed in the bone similar to the way a natural tooth is supported, they offer a more realistic and natural look compared to other alternatives.
- Reduction of bone resorption: When a tooth is lost, the supporting bone structure gradually recedes. Placing an implant in that empty space significantly reduces the speed of bone resorption and provides stability for this valuable tissue.
- Retention: Patients who have experienced removable full or partial dentures know that keeping their dentures in place is always a challenge. Dental implants offer a great improvement to denture retention for all patients. In some cases, the denture can be secured to a group of implants with special screws that stabilize the denture completely.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implant treatment generally involves the placement of small titanium screws in the bone underlying the gum tissue, to which prosthetic teeth are later attached. Even though dental implants are very effective restorative devices, they may not be for everyone. One thing to consider is that for dental implants to work, you have to have healthy gums and enough bone density in your jaw.
