Why should you have a dental implant put in place to stabilize and secure your prosthetic? This is not the only way to enjoy a permanent restoration – with a dental bridge, you can have a missing tooth secured. That being said, the support of a dental implant will offer exclusive important benefits. In addition to superior stability, an implant will protect you against problems with your jawbone – missing teeth can lead to a reduction in mass. Implants also make it possible to keep larger restorations stable. That means you can keep partial and total dentures in tightly locked in place.
What To Expect From The Dental Implant Placement Process
Before your implant placement process can even begin, you have to be examined first. In order to make sure the procedure is successful, your dentist has to confirm that your jawbone is up to the task of holding the implant. Steps like jawbone grafting and treatment for gum disease may need to take place before you can proceed. With the use of sedation and localized anesthetic, discomfort around the placement procedure can be managed. After the appropriate amount of time passes, you should be healed to the point that your restoration can be placed.
Leaving Tooth Loss Unaddressed Hurts The Quality Of Your Oral Health
If you go without an answer to tooth loss, you can develop unpleasant oral health complications. A deterioration of your jawbone that takes place over time can affect how you look, and compromise the overall stability of your jaw. You can also have trouble with biting and chewing, which can lead to pain in your jaw that persists over time.
