With the placement of dental implants, you have a\nclear path to a fully restored smile. What makes them a better choice than\nother <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renudentalcare.com\/dental-implants.html\">replacement<\/a>\nmethods, though? You\u2019re invited to read further to discover why dental implants\nare in a class of their own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How a Dental Implant Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from durable titanium, which is also biocompatible, a\ndental implant is a cylinder-shaped fixture that is affixed to the underlying jawbone.\nLater, another titanium piece is added, called the abutment, which allows a\nfinal restoration to be securely attached to the implant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After sufficient healing, the patient is able to get back to\na normal way of life. However, there are some specific benefits of receiving a\ndental implant that deserve being highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Advantages of Receiving Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that, when it comes to tooth replacement, the\ndental implant process is in a class of its own. The reason is simple; no other\nmethod addresses the problem at the root level. By the dental implant being\nplaced directly into the jawbone, where the root once lay, you stand to enjoy these\nadvantages: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Easy maintenance<\/li><li>A natural looking smile<\/li><li>Prevention of jawbone loss<\/li><li>No shifting oral appliances<\/li><li>Less chance of gum irritation<\/li><li>Prevention of other teeth shifting<\/li><li>Up to 50% more chewing capacity than traditional\ndentures<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results That Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still yet another perk of having a dental implant\nplaced. Whereas other methods of tooth replacement may last up to 15 years, a\ndental implant can function properly for 30 years to a lifetime \u2013 with the\nright care. This doesn\u2019t require any special processes. Brushing and flossing\nyour teeth at least two times a day is one of the main contributors to the\nmaintenance of your new fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also important to remain mindful of what you consume. The\nharder foods like nuts and certain seeds should be avoided, and your teeth\nshould never be used to open packages or to bite fingernails, as these\nactivities can lead to a dental emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Am I the Right Candidate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant placement is not age-specific; it\u2019s for\nanyone who is missing one or more teeth. Before you undergo the procedure, your\ndentist will perform a thorough examination to assess your current health, the\ncondition of your gums and any remaining teeth, and to determine how much\nhealthy jawbone remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this, you\u2019ll sit down for a consultation to\ndiscuss what your options are. The next step, then, is to move forward with enjoying\nthe functional and aesthetic benefits of having your missing teeth replaced! The\nprocess starts by simply reaching out to your local dentist to schedule a\nvisit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jacklyn Jensen earned her dental degree from the\nUniversity of Minnesota, and for over a decade, along with caring for her\npatients, she has maintained a commitment to providing the best experience\npossible.
