And with aging, it becomes more critical to look after yourself and every aspect of your body. But still, some parts of the body are left untouched from proper care. A mouth is one of the examples of ‘taken for granted’ part of our body. But we all forget, it is the most important as it helps us to eat what we want to. Still, we don’t follow proper dental hygiene. A loss of teeth and tooth decay are very common problems faced by many and mainly by old age people. Thanks to the advanced medical services for creating dental implant as the solution to serve these problems.
What is the right age for Dental Implant?
Many of us don’t know much about the dental implants and are living under many wrong perceptions i.e. what exactly it is, how it works, and most importantly what is the right age for it or is it right to get it done if you are too old.
The perception of aging i.e. we are too old for the dental implant is wrong. They work in the same manner for old as for young ones. The weak bones of jaw and mouth affect young and old alike. No specific age limit is set for dental implants as it the best medical solution available to replace missing tooth and to cater tooth decay.
Should old people go for Dental Implants?
Even if, old people knew that they can get the dental implant done still they wonder or feel resistant to it. You should not forget, you need your teeth to eat your food in a much easier way as you enjoy this benefit with your natural teeth, which in turn helps you to get the required body nutrition.
People who face dental issues try to escape or stops themselves to get social as they feel conscious. When you will be able to talk, eat, and most importantly smile normally and fully, you start enjoying your social life. This helps you to have strong self-esteem, good physical appearance, and better lifestyle as when you look good you feel good. A dental implant will help you to overcome such issues in a very shorter period of time.
How it works i.e. Treatment and Recovery?
On the level of your tooth loss or decay, a dentist can suggest you the treatment. He may place 2 to 4 dental implants to further support or can do a fixed prosthesis (hybrid). In fixed prosthesis, he will place 4-6 artificial teeth just like natural teeth. A fixed prosthesis is said to be better as it is more stable and comfortable.
Recovery from dental implant surgery is also very fast. Initial recovery is done in a week’s time with slight discomfort as your mouth try to adjust with the new artificial tooth. Full recovery may take 2-3 months depending upon the level of surgery done.
Cost Vs Value?
It is expensive. But if you do a cost vs value analysis, then, you will be able to know that it is the most stable and long-term beneficial solution.
By knowing the importance of dental implants from above, we conclude that, don’t look at your age and live your life to the fullest with this fine medical advancement.
