Dental Implants: A more Natural approach
Today’s implants are all harmless to the human body and are manufactured according to international quality standards. While high-tech in natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. So, there is good news since dental implants support replacement teeth in virtually the same way that your natural tooth root supports your natural teeth.
Dental implants are made of titanium and shaped like a screw. It is a small, sturdy, titanium post that acts as the root structure would for a natural tooth.
Why aredental implants made of Titanium ?
Being bio compatible, which means the body can get along with it, Titanium is used for implants as the body immune system does not recognize it and hence permits the Titanium bolt to grow together with the jawbone without rejecting it. It is very well tolerated by the human body and compatible with bone and oral.
For example, if you get a splinter in your thumb and leave it there, the body immune system will do it's utmost to fight this unbody-material.The part will swell, will hurt to alert you that something's up, pus may form and everything under the moon will happen so that the splinter is ejected, or you made to remove it. This will not happen with a properly inserted Titanium dental implant into the jawbone.
A dental implant is placed into your upper or lower jaw bone by dentist and allowed to heal in the bone for a period of time until the bone-implant union is strong enough to support a prosthetic tooth. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or over-denture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.
Implants are very durable and can last a lifetime under proper conditions, such as and experienced dentist and diligent patient maintenance. They are like your own teeth and will require the same clean and maintenance as natural teeth. This includes brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. Long-term study has shown improving success for implants. |
