Benefit of Dental Implants There are plenty of benefits to having dental implants placed. While they offer an excellent artificial tooth solution, they can help stop decay and deterioration by placing new teeth. Dental implants can also provide the foundation upon which any number of dental appliances can be placed to offer artificial teeth. Once placed, dental implants can serve as healthy, permanent artificial teeth which can be brushed and flossed just like your own teeth. Implants can also restore lost jaw functionality and improve your smile. Crowns and dentures can be placed on the implants to provide replacement teeth which can look and feel like natural teeth. In most cases, crowns can be tinted to match the exact color and shape of the original teeth, so they blend in and look like they are a part of the oral cavity. One huge asset of dental implants is that they are securely placed in the patient's mouth. There is no worry about them slipping out of place or rubbing the soft tissues of the mouth raw, like the gums and insides of the cheeks, because they do not fit correctly. Once placed, dental implants need to be taken care of as if they were the patient's real teeth. Brushing and flossing is necessary, as is continuing to attend professional exams and cleanings. For those patients seeking answers to their artificial teeth questions, Implant & Periodontics Solutions is here to answer all of your questions. Components of Dental ImplantsIf asked, most people would probably consider dental implants to be a single component affixed in the mouth somehow, but they would be wrong. There are actually three distinct components making up a single dental implant and each serves a very specific purpose. Dental implants are designed to be both durable and attractive in appearance. The three components are known as the implant, abutment, and the crown. The first section called the implant is the piece embedded into the physical jawbone of the patient. It is embedded so it remains permanently fixed in the oral cavity, providing an excellent foundation for the second and third components. The abutment is what the second piece is called. It attaches onto the implant and offers a sturdy surface to attach the crown to. The crown is the third piece and the only one visible. Shaped and colored to match the remaining teeth, dental implants provide a second-to-none solution. Advantages of Dental ImplantsClearly, there are numerous advantages to dental implants. One immediately obvious one is that they are permanent. There is no need for adhesive and there is no need to worry about them slipping like dentures. They do not need to be removed for cleaning and can be brushed and flossed as if they were the patient's natural teeth. No dietary changes are needed either, as is the case with some dentures.
