For those people who currently have dentures that are ill-fitting, painful or have other issues, dental implants may be a better option. It is important to find a solution that is a good fit for a person's particular lifestyle. If the reason for considering other dental options is because your traditional dentures are loose, then finding a permanent denture solution is a solid choice. While people often choose traditional dentures and they work fine for them, dentures are not a solution for everyone. For those people, it is time to consider getting dental implants.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth. Implants insert surgically into a patient's mouth, which means that the false tooth root connects directly to the jawbone. This connection is very important because it helps in the prevention of any jawbone loss, which begins to occur as soon as someone loses one of his or her teeth. Jawbone health is important to the overall health of a patient's mouth, and when there is no longer a natural tooth connected to the jawbone, it begins to deteriorate.
An implant is able to act like a natural tooth. This means that a dental patient who decides to get implants where their natural teeth used to be will receive all the benefits that having a tooth provides.
While dental implants are an alternative to getting dentures, those who are considering getting implants need to understand that they are a permanent solution. Implants attach to the jawbone surgically, which means that they are not removable from the mouth easily. They are a permanent tooth replacement solution, which many dental patients prefer over traditional dentures. Since implants are permanent, it means that they act just like natural teeth do, including all the benefits that natural teeth provide.
