How dental implants work like natural teeth

How dental implants work like natural teeth

Many people have turned to dentures, flippers, or traditional dental crowns and bridges to replace their missing or damaged teeth. Unfortunately, these appliances usually fail to serve their oral health, confidence, and chewing ability in the same way that their natural teeth once did. However, The Dental Implant Place can restore your smile with dental implants, which not only promote long-term bone and gum tissue health in a way no other restorative dental treatment can, but also feel and function like the natural teeth you were born with.

Like having your old teeth back

Dental implants simply provide the most natural and long-lasting solution in restorative dentistry for replacing missing, infected, or loose teeth. Here are just some of the benefits that only a dental implant can offer:

Simply Brush: When your implants retain zirconia crowns and bridges, you clean your dental implants the same way you used to clean your old teeth – by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.

Stimulate Your Bone and Gums: Unlike dentures and traditional crowns and bridges, a dental implant acts as a tooth root which stimulates your bone and gums, significantly reducing risk of bone deterioration and gum disease.

Say Goodbye to Slippage: Dental implants fuse to your bone and can firmly anchor a crown, bridge, or even a denture without using adhesives. This allows you to eat the foods you used to enjoy and stop worrying about whether or not your teeth are going to fall out or shift when you talk.

Common problems with the traditional alternatives

Dentures require adhesives in order to stay in your mouth. Not only do these adhesives often feel and taste unpleasant, but they also often don’t work and slip out of your mouth, especially while chewing firmer foods and even while speaking. Flippers, meanwhile, usually lack adequate durability for long-term wear, and they rarely look like natural teeth compared to other dental prosthetics. Finally, traditional dental bridges and crowns (which use adjacent teeth to stay anchored in place) often compromise their adjacent natural teeth, making them crooked or loose.

The cost of dental implants vs infection & missing teeth

The cost of dental implants vs infection & missing teeth

Dental implants are not cheap, but they’re far more affordable than the price of missing or infected teeth. The fact is that pressing on with missing and/or infected teeth can lead to serious, systemic health issues that are not only crippling financially, but also devastating to your physical well-being.

The cost of missing teeth

One of the most important functions performed by natural teeth is one that goes unseen: the stimulation of your bone and gum tissue. When an area of bone and gum tissue lacks a tooth root, it is no longer used being used as it’s intended to be. As a result, the area will deteriorate from lack of use, which can lead to bone loss, premature aging, and gum disease. Because dental implants act as natural tooth roots, aiding the form and function of your bone and gums, the benefits they can provide for your long-term health cannot be overestimated.

The cost of loose and infected teeth

When mature, natural teeth become loose, that means there is a major problem in the bone and/or gums, and that problem is almost always infection. Infected teeth are dangerous, not just to your oral health, but to your overall health as well. Oral infection can lead to major systemic diseases that include, but are not limited to:

  • Stroke
  • Heart attack
  • Aspiration pneumonia
  • Liver infection
  • Brain, Kidney and Bone infection
  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Complications with diabetes
  • Meningitis

The toll these issues can take on your body and quality of life are immeasurable, and the cost of the medical care necessary to deal with the above problems can be nothing short of catastrophic. Therefore, it’s very important that infected teeth be removed and, as previously mentioned, that the function of your mouth also be restored. Dental implants cannot decay, and they can therefore greatly reduce the risks of oral infection.

What is your smile worth?

While avoiding the health risks of missing and infected teeth is more than enough reason to choose dental implants, the price of your confidence when smiling and your ability to chew properly are priceless. Dental implants are simply the most comprehensive and effective method in dentistry for giving you new teeth and restoring the quality of your oral health.

What are “removable” and fixed dental implants?

What are “removable” and fixed dental implants?

What are “removable” and fixed dental implants?

Those seeking dental implants and weighing their treatment options may have encountered such terms as “fixed” or “removable” used alongside dental implants. These terms can create some confusion about the nature of dental implants and the treatment associated with them, so it’s important to define what is meant when use terms like fixed dental implants.

All dental implants are fixed

A dental implant is not, in and of itself, a replacement tooth. It is rather a small titanium post that is placed in your bone in order to act like the natural root of a tooth. Therefore, dental implants themselves are not meant to be taken in and out of place. They are meant to act as your new, permanent tooth roots. Replacement teeth are then retained by the implants, and it is these artificial sets of teeth (referred to as a “prosthesis”) that can be either removable or fixed. That is, it’s possible to get a prosthesis that can either be cemented permanently to your implants or a prosthesis that can be snapped on and off of your implants.

Why are these terms used?

At our Dental Implant centre, we offer both removable and fixed prostheses for your implants. The fixed option is a prosthesis digitally designed and milled out of zirconia, the hardest material in dentistry that looks like a tooth. These fixed zirconia teeth will not only look like natural teeth, but will also feel and function completely like natural teeth. They can be cleaned exactly like natural teeth: by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste! This is the highest quality option available in dentistry for replacing missing or damaged teeth.

The “removable” option we offer is an implant supported denture. The denture is designed to snap on and off of your dental implants. This is a much-preferred alternative to traditional dentures, which have no implants to retain them and require adhesives to be held in place. Traditional dentures will also lead to bone loss, while implant supported dentures have dental implants to stimulate your bone and gums the way that natural tooth roots do. Better still, implant supported dentures don’t require nearly the amount of acrylic over your gums to stay in place, since they rely on implants rather than suction to stay in place.

Why do we offer both options?

Our Bangalore Dental Implant Centre offers a removable option as a more affordable alternative to the fixed, as the cost of implant supported dentures is significantly less than fixed zirconia bridges. While the removable doesn’t offer all of the benefits of the fixed, it still provides you with dental implants for a firm and secure fit for chewing and speaking while providing healthy bone and gum stimulation to help ensure long-term oral health.
