Dental implants are one of the best methods available today for replacing missing teeth. They’re synthetic tooth roots that Dr. Parra embeds in your jawbone. The procedure is state-of-the-art and painless.
Dental implants are usually made from titanium, which is a biocompatible material that your body doesn’t identify as a foreign substance. This makes it possible for your implant to fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
Because they become an integrated part of your bone tissue, dental implants provide exceptional support for a restoration. When combined with a crown, bridge, or dentures, a dental implant makes for a long-lasting tooth replacement option.
People mistakenly assume that they don’t need to do anything to fill in the gap left by a missing permanent tooth, but missing teeth can actually do a lot of harm to your oral health, including:
By filling in the empty socket where your natural tooth once was, dental implants help to prevent all of these problems associated with missing teeth, and more.
As a tooth-replacement solution, dental implants are simply the most advanced technology available today. Unlike a traditional bridge or dentures, dental implants topped with a restoration replace your tooth’s structures both above and below the gumline.
When you’re missing a tooth root, it deprives your jawbone of necessary and healthy stimulation, which leaves your bone tissue to deteriorate or resorb. Dental implants keep your jawbone stimulated, increasing your overall oral health.
Dental implants mimic the structure of your natural teeth, which means that they don’t require any special care or cleaning. And because they integrate into your bone tissue, you don’t have to worry about them falling out or coming loose.
If you simply brush and floss like normal and maintain regular cleanings and checkups with Dr. Parra and the team at Millennium Dental, Beatriz Parra, DDS, your dental implants should last a long time.
