Dental Implant - The Best Option for Replacing Missing Teeth


A dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth. Natural teeth consist of the crown and the root. The crown is the visible section that is covered with white enamel. Supporting the crown is the tooth root which extends into the jawbone. The root is the part of the tooth that is effectively replaced by an implant.


Common Causes of Tooth Loss:

There are many reasons a person might be missing teeth. The most common is tooth decay, which is related to gingivitis. Teeth that are not properly cared for decay over time. if left untreated, these teeth can become loose and fall out. Missing teeth may also be linked to other oral diseases, including periodontal (gum) disease.

In the first step, the dental implant dentist surgically places the implant in the jaw, then a healing process of anywhere from three to six months takes place for it to anchor and heal. Once the implant has anchored with the jawbone the dentist can then attach an extension, but first must uncover the implant under the healed gum tissue. After this has been completed the extension, called a post, is attached to the implant. In some cases, the post may be attached during the initial procedure. When the post is in place, your dentist then will make a crown, which has a size, shape, color and fit that will blend with your other teeth. When the crown is completed it is attached to the implant post.

Tooth implants along with artificial teeth are often a good option to fill the gaps left by tooth loss. Many people find that dental implants are more comfortable, efficient and secure than are dentures or bridgework.
