A skilled and trusted doctor will always try to save a dental patient’s natural teeth. When people have severe jawbone density loss, however, their tooth or teeth are no longer stable inside their jawbone. When people have jawbone density loss, their unstable natural teeth will have to be removed through tooth extractions, or they will fall out. Luckily, people can replace their extracted or missing teeth with gold standard dental implants. Interested in learning more about how dental implants can save patient's smiles?

How Will Dental Implants Be Able To Save My Smile?

Dental implants are a gold standard tooth replacement option when people have one or more missing teeth. A dental implant can restore the look, function, and health of a patients smile because of the parts they are composed of: the dental implant post, abutment, and tooth crown.

The dental implant post is made to act like a natural tooth root. When the dental implant post is placed in the patient's jawbone, it fuses with it so that it is a permanent part of the patients smile. The dental implant post also stimulates the patients jawbone like a natural tooth root so that it is healthy and strong enough to support the patient's new smile.

The abutment is the connector piece that attaches the dental implant post to the tooth crown. The tooth crown is the visible part of the dental implant that is custom made so that its color, shape, and size look good and natural in the patient's smile.

A restorative dental implant, made from biomimetic materials, can specifically save a patient’s smile in the following ways:

Preserves Jawbone Density And Volume:

Dental implants are able to maintain a patient’s facial structure, preventing them from having jawbone density loss. This is not only beneficial to the patient's oral health, but it also helps preserve the natural shape of their face so that it does not sag or sink in.

Restores Dental Functionality:

Dental implants restore the patient’s dental functionality, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Because the dental implant post is securely anchored into the patient's jawbone, so that it does not slip or move, it gives them dental stability and comfort. Unlike traditional dentures, there are no dietary restrictions associated with dental implants, so patients can enjoy their normal diet.

Have A High Success Rate:

Dental implants have a high success rate. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, dental implants have a success rate of 95%, when strategically angled and placed. They are durable, long-lasting, and require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.

Made To Aesthetically Enhance The Patient's Smile:

Dental implants also have an aesthetic advantage. They are made to look and feel like the patient’s natural teeth, giving them a beautiful new smile that they can feel confident in.

Are A Permanent Tooth Replacement Option:

Dental implants are made to be a long-lasting tooth replacement option. When the dental implant post is placed in the patient's jawbone, it fuses with it in a process called osseointegtartion. Once the dental implant post has fully fused with the patient's jawbone, it will be a permanent part of their smile.

By getting expertly treated with dental implants at a state-of-the-art doctor's office, patients will be able to maintain a normal diet, speak with ease, and smile with comfort. Whether people have one missing tooth, or a full arch of missing teeth, dental implants will save their smile and improve their life for years to come.
