Dental implants are the ideal option for someone wishing to replace missing teeth. Where natural teeth are missing, Designer Dental Studio highly recommends tooth replacement to prevent long term dental concerns and a dental implant can be used to replace a single missing tooth or many missing teeth. If you are unfamiliar on how a dental implant works, it consists of two parts:
- Fixture: A small titanium fixture placed in the bone where the root of the missing tooth used to be
- Crown: A crown restoration attached to the fixture above the gum
These two components make up a dental implant and completely replaces the missing tooth. Over time, the fixture integrates (bonds) with the bone, acting as an anchor for the replacement tooth. This makes the entire structure very stable.
Compared to a bridge a dental implant is a superior choice to make. Dental implants offer numerous benefits.
- An implant offers a long-lasting solution. Dental implants often last for a lifetime. They are even more resilient than your natural teeth
- You can eat your favourite foods in comfort and confidence. Implants are like natural teeth because they are anchored securely in your jaw
- You will experience a perfect fit and perfect smile. The crown restoration is practically indistinguishable from your natural teeth
- An implant eliminates the need to modify healthy teeth. A bridge requires the removes healthy tooth structure from adjacent teeth. This is not necessary with a dental implant
