While losing a tooth is a trouble in itself, more troublesome is replacing the tooth with a removable denture or a fixed bridge. If you had asked someone a decade ago, the only way to fix a missing tooth was a denture and it was not only difficult to maintain but also cause a lot of discomfort and pain. But thanks to the medical advancements, the modern replacement for missing tooth is dental implants.
Orthodontists in Pune is now recommending having dental implants that are nothing but artificial tooth root that is placed in your mouth synthetically to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, denture or bridge. Made of titanium metal, the dental implants fuse around the jawbone serving as a root for the missing tooth. It has been considered as the long-term option for tooth replacement and is widely being used by oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Pune.
But before you go for this revolutionary treatment, you should know a few basic facts about dental implants:
1. Dental Implants have high success rates:
Having a track record of 30 years with innumerable satisfied and happy customers, dental implants have the highest success rate among all the dental procedures. While the success rate varies depending on the dental health of an individual, the location of implants and the expertise of the dentist who will be operating, generally the success rate is between 95%-98%.
2. Implants are as good as natural teeth:
When it comes to dental implants, only you know that they are implants. The look and feel of them are as natural as a real tooth. It is almost a clone of your missing tooth where it is customized to look, feel, and fir exactly like all other teeth. Being fused to your bone gives the implants it’s natural feel.
3. Implants help preserve remaining teeth:
For long, dental bridge has been the most widely used replacement option for missing tooth. But this treatment requires alteration of the healthy teeth by filling them down to a proper size to fit into crowns that act as anchors for the bridge. This can make the healthy teeth weaker and prone to decay. In the case of dental implants, your healthy teeth are untouched while giving you a natural feel for your implants.
4. Implants prevent bone loss:
If you lose a tooth, the bone in the area begins to shrink over time as the bone is no longer receiving any stimulation. Unlike a fixed bridge, implants replace the roots of the missing tooth, imitating the stimulation of the jawbone and preventing further deterioration.
5. Implants make eating effortless:
The best part about getting implants is that you do not feel there is something artificially placed in your mouth. Eating and chewing are as effortless as it was before the tooth loss. For long, it has been a dreadful experience for people who have dentures or bridges while eating as it always comes with some sort of hassles or restrictions. But with implants, you can now eat any type of food you want.
