With the constant advances in modern dental implant technology, dental implants provide an alternative in place of traditional partial or full bridges and dentures that fill in gap in the mouth. Since a natural tooth is comprised of roots, pulp, dentin and crown. A dental implant has three parts which begin with the insertion the titanium screw through the jawbone and gums to serve as new teeth “roots.” Once the gum and jawbone heal , and there is acceptance of the titanium root, the connector or abutment will be put over the screw made of titanium. The final component is the crown of the tooth is put in its place. This results in a new tooth that is as solid as natural teeth for eating all kinds of food without fear.
Take a look at the four advantages that provide full dental implants for the mouth a good alternative to bridges, or complete dentures used to bridge the gap left by the losing teeth.
Bone structure is preserved
Gums protect the teeth of our naturals that are supported from the bone beneath the gum , referred to as the jawbone. When teeth are lost and the bone weakens which causes facial changes due to the jawbone’s height decreases, which causes the cheeks and the corners of the mouth to sag and sink. A dental implant that is full mouth just as durable as natural tooth roots helps to stimulate bone in the jaw, and offers security to the dental implant crown.
Preservation of nearby teeth
Full mouth dental implants stop the natural teeth that remain from shifting and creating misalignment issues with the bite and can also help reduce the wear and tear of adjacent teeth. They need to be trimmed for a denture or bridge which does not have roots to connect to the natural teeth. Natural teeth do double duty to support the bite pressures of the bridge and denture made of artificial material which results in a decrease in the strength of natural teeth.
More rate of success
Its strength lies in the gum and bone that form around this implant material. Implants don’t require periodic replacements that are typically required with bridges and dentures. When properly maintained, similar to that of normal teeth, a complete dental implant in the mouth can last for 30 years.
Cost-efficient
This is an advantage that all people want. Although the expense may cause initial trepidation Patients must remember that the cost is a once-off expense that can result in several years of enjoyment and ease of use.
