What They Don’t Tell You About Dental Implants

Protected Existing Teeth

Sadly, tooth extraction does not stop severe deterioration and cavities in the teeth. Treatments for restoration are therefore always necessary. If an old, broken tooth is removed, the space left behind will force the teeth next to it to move to fill the gap. Your existing symptoms, such as jaw pain and swollen gums, are prolonged by this. In the worst case scenario, the infection or damage may spread to nearby, healthy teeth, resulting in their loss as well.

These can be avoided, and same-day dental implants will permanently end your dental problems. This is since implants perform similarly to natural teeth and permanently close any gaps left by extractions to stop movement and reinfection.

Dental Implants Are Very Similar To Natural Teeth

Like natural teeth, dental implants are constructed of solid metal rather than bone and are permanently attached to your jawbone via titanium “roots.” You have the same comfort and functionality as with natural teeth because you can bite and chew with them, but unlike dentures, they will not fall out. Additionally, because the crowns of implants can be customized to match the colouring and natural appearance of your teeth, you will smile more brightly than ever.

All That Is Needed From You Is To Brush Your Teeth

Dental implants don’t require any additional maintenance, unlike partials and dentures that need a tacky adhesive. They are equally as permanent as your natural teeth. Now you don’t have that strange sense of something being in your mouth, so you may talk and eat as you wish.

Dental implants are immune to cavities, so you won’t even need to bother about them. Plaque erodes normal teeth but cannot corrode the titanium used in implants. However, don’t use your implants as a justification to neglect maintaining proper oral hygiene; you still risk getting gum disease around the implant and cavities in the teeth nearby.
