The dental implant is made of titanium and replaces the root of the lost tooth, acting as a stable base for the future prostheses. The implant is firmly adhered to the bones due to the osseointegration. Therefore, it is possible to provide teeth that look and act as your own.
You should consider dental implant treatment in the following situations:
* Loss of one or more teeth.
* Non-attractive changes in your dental facial appearance.
* Lack of confidence while speaking or laughing.
* Risk of dental loss due to periodontal disease.
* Difficulty in chewing certain types of food.
* Total prosthesis (denture) or partial (removable bridge).
* Fracture involving the root of the tooth.
* Risk of losing a fixed prosthesis when one or more natural teeth get weaker.
Implant treatments have improved the life of many people, generating a lot of benefits, such as:
* The feeling of chewing with your own teeth.
* Health improvement due to the ability of chewing a large variety of nutritious meals.
* The restoration of the mouth structure, leading to a more natural appearance.
* Preservation of the maxilla bone structure due to the reduction of deterioration probability, maintaining the facial aesthetics.
* Avoid the erosion of other teeth, which would happen in case of a fixed prosthesis without implants.
* If prescribed, the patient may have the teeth within 24 hours after the surgery.
* More comfort and confidence due to elimination of total or misplaced prosthesis.
The dental loss is a common problem to millions of people. Unfortunately, there are a lot of difficulties associated with this situation.
The lack of self-esteem due to dental loss is, for most of them, an embarrassing social moment. Very often, they avoid situations such as: brushing their teeth in front of other people, meetings in which they will need to do a public-speech and meetings during meals.
Those are people who hide their smile, have problems to chew or do not feel comfortable and confident with their denture or removable bridges. Some even face issues on their personal love life due to the low self-esteem.
