Why get Dental implants?

You may have already been told that you’re not a good candidate for a dental implant. The simple truth is, anyone can be a candidate for a dental implant. Really? Yes, it is true. Let’s quickly review the basics you need to know for a better understanding.

What:

A dental implant is the artificial replacement of the root of a natural tooth. The dental implant is made from titanium, which is a bio-inert material, and provides a strong foundation for teeth. What that means is that the bone thinks the implant is bone, thereby reducing the chance of rejection.

Who:

Anyone who needs to replace a tooth.

Why:

There are many reasons for replacing a tooth. Here’s a quick list: fractures, cavities, periodontal disease, bone loss, loose teeth, crooked teeth, painful teeth, swollen gums, missing teeth, loss of support, failed dental work, poor fitting partial or complete dentures, injury or trauma, born without teeth, or medical problems.

Despite many improvements in dental health care, millions of Americans still suffer from missing teeth – mostly due to tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. In fact according to the US Surgeon General’s Report, a person age 50 or older is missing on-the-average 12 or more teeth. And 25% of those people have a fear of intimacy. For centuries, the only treatment options available were fixed bridges and removable dentures. But today, dental implants provide a better alternative.

How:

First, gather accurate information. Second, decide which prosthodontist you’ll see for an initial consultation. Third, be sure that your prosthodontist explains all tooth replacement options to you, interprets your X-rays, and answers all of your questions. Lastly, begin treatment only when you are ready.
