When one or more teeth have been lost dental implants have many advantages and are the treatment of choice par excellence. It is a treatment, very functional and super aesthetic, when you need to restore missing teeth, it is a fixed, durable and very safe solution.
Before knowing its advantages it is important to understand what is a dental implant: It is a titanium screw that is inserted into the bone (it functions as the dental roots). The implant supports the crown or dental prosthesis that is the visible part of the tooth.
Dental implants: a fixed solution
Natural teeth are attached to the jawbone with the root. This makes them motionless and resistant to chewing activity. A dental implant fulfills the same function as the root of a natural tooth and, therefore, it is a very effective fixed solution.
A dental implant offers very good support and retention. Thus, there are no problems chewing, speaking, or smiling.
Dental implants: strong and durable
A dental implant can last a lifetime, its materials are biocompatible with our body, they do not wear out, are not damaged, or oxidize.
Although they may cost more, in the long run they will be more cost-effective than other treatments that have limited time to work.
A dental implant has been designed to withstand the load of the chewing process, just as a natural tooth does. It can have excellent functionality as long as excellent oral hygiene, careful habits and periodic controls of the treatment with the specialist are maintained.
Dental implants: very safe
The success rate of a dental implant treatment exceeds 95%. If the care and recommendations of the specialist are followed during the osseointegration process (intimate integration of the implant with the bone), there will be no complications.
When a tooth is lost, a space remains. By replacing this space with a dental implant, the bone is preserved, preventing its resorption. When it is not done, the bone in the area begins to deteriorate and this causes unwanted movements of the other teeth and problems with the occlusion (or bite).
Compared to other options such as dental bridges, implants do not damage other teeth, keeping the other natural teeth healthy.
