5 reasons you should get Dental Implants
/Are you missing one or more teeth? Dental implants may be the solution for you! Dr. Nabeel Cajee, a general dentist trained in oral surgery and comprehensive dentistry in Manteca, California, provides dental implant treatment to patients of all ages. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Here are five benefits of dental implants:
Improved appearance
Missing teeth can affect your appearance and self-confidence. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a natural-looking and attractive smile. With dental implants, you can feel confident in your smile and appearance.
2. Improved speech
Missing teeth can also affect your speech by causing slurring or mumbling. Dental implants function like natural teeth and can improve your ability to speak clearly, without worrying about slipping or sliding dentures.
3. Improved oral health
Missing teeth can cause a number of oral health problems, such as gum disease, bone loss, and tooth decay. Dental implants help to maintain the bone structure and prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap. This can lead to improved oral health and reduce the risk of developing oral health problems.
4. Increased comfort
Dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, which means that they feel and function like natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants do not require adhesives or uncomfortable metal clasps. This can lead to increased comfort and improved quality of life.
5. Long-lasting
Dental implants are a long-lasting tooth replacement option. With proper care, they can last for many years or even a lifetime. They are made from durable materials, such as titanium, which is biocompatible and integrates with the jawbone.
Dental implant treatment process
The dental implant treatment process typically involves several stages. First, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This requires a healing period of several months to allow the implant to fuse with the bone. Once the implant has fully healed, a connector called an abutment is attached to the implant, which supports the replacement tooth. Finally, a crown or other prosthetic is attached to the abutment to complete the restoration.
