Natural Looking Dental Implant

Natural Looking Dental Implant
The introduction of dental implant restorations has quickly become a quite popular treatment that the advancements in technology has delivered. The list of benefits is long and genuine. As the new gold standard in the industry, dental implants deliver the closest restoration solution to your natural teeth. We will look at the advantages above and below the gum line.
Below the Soft Tissue
The biggest benefit is the one you cannot even see. To understand the impact on oral health, the procedure will be explained. At first the integrity of the jawbone must be identified where the space of gap is to be filled from the missing tooth. If the jawbone density is adequate, the actual procedure can begin. If the jawbone has atrophied, it can still be abated with a simple bone grafting procedure. At this point the tiny titanium post is surgically inserted into the jaw. With time this post will integrate with the bone, allowing it to act as a natural root. It will deliver the stability and security of a root. It also helps maintain the integrity of the jawbone, stymying any advancing atrophy.
The Visible Crown
After the post has fused to the jawbone, we add an abutment or extension to reach the surface of your gumline. At this point we add a custom fabricated crown from a dental lab. This artificial tooth has been designed to match your surrounding teeth in color and shape. The aesthetic result is natural looking tooth that you simply cannot tell the difference.
Natural in Every Way
Not only does your new dental implant allow you to enjoy and all your favorite foods, but it also brings you the confidence of total stability and security. You can feel the pressure changes naturally, as well as hot and cold changes. You will have no problems speaking or conversing as you might with a dental bridge or a removable restoration.
The Oral Hygiene is the Same as a Natural Tooth
You must take care of your dental implant as you would a natural tooth. It must be brushed twice a day and flossed around once a day. You will not change or alter your twice a year dental exam. Not only will we evaluate your teeth and gums, capture x-rays to monitor your health below the surface of your gums, but we will monitor the health of your dental implant.
The Benefits and Advantages of Your Natural Looking Dental Implant
In addition to the physical benefits mentioned above, the life expectancy of a dental implant is easily several decades. With proper care it can be extended. The additional benefits fall into a quality-of-life category. The added cost up front for your dental implant negates the multiple expenses you would encounter with replacing dental bridges or dentures. Most importantly, there is the under-rated value of your smile. Your smile if foundational to your personality. It drives your self-esteem and your self-confidence. A dental implant is worth the time and money invested.
