An Introduction to Dental Implants: How Do They Work?
Dental implants are widely considered to be the best long-term tooth loss solution. What are dental implants? Dental implants are small titanium rods surgically implanted in the jawbone following tooth loss to replace natural tooth roots.
During implant placement, a dentist or oral surgeon places the implant in the vacated hole, or "socket," in the patient's jawbone. Once the implant is in place, over several weeks, it fuses permanently with the bone through "osseointegration." Once the implant is securely in place, it acts as a strong, stable, and natural-feeling artificial tooth root. At this point, to fully restore the patient's smile and natural biting and chewing functions, the implant is typically topped with a dental crown.
The Awesome Advantages of Dental Implants
Among the numerous benefits that elevate dental implants above all other long-term tooth replacement solutions, the most significant are:
- Jawbone stimulation. Implants provide essential stimulation to the jawbone, helping prevent bone density loss that often accompanies tooth loss.
- Support for surrounding teeth. Implants provide support to surrounding teeth and prevent them from shifting out of alignment or overcrowding.
- Natural feel and function. Implants feel and function exactly like natural tooth roots. Once set in place, they require no dietary restrictions and contribute to day-to-day quality of life.
- Durability. With proper maintenance and at-home oral hygiene practices, dental implants can last several years (if not much longer!) without requiring retreatment!
