An Implant Dentist Can Have You Smiling Again

If you’ve ever needed a broken or cracked tooth or a group of teeth removed, a visit to an implant dentist is surely something you’ve considered. At the same time, you may have also heard horror stories about implants and all that can go wrong with them and should know that these types of issues are a thing of the past.

Dental implants have been around for ages and are a common site in society. From full-on dentures to bridges and crowns, they have kept the world from going toothless for years. They’ve also built a reputation for at times causing more trouble than they’re worth, as many individuals from older generations know someone in their lives - if not themselves - who has had a serious, frustrating issue with a crown or something like it.

Today, however, an implant dentist has better technology, equipment and resources at his or her disposal than ever before. Because of this, having your teeth replaced has never been more effective, reliable and successful than it is nowadays.

Today’s cutting edge implants are made of titanium and structured to mimic the shape and rigidity of the actual root itself. In order to achieve optimum, realistic results, an implant dentist inserts the unit into the jaw bone in such a manner that actually promotes the bone growing around the titanium and accepting it as a natural part of the structure.

Because of the natural strength this technology and related process creates for implants, they are now as strong, stable and reliable as they have ever been. This translates into prostheses of all shapes and sizes, including dentures, bridges and crowns, being structurally sound and secure in place over the long term. It also means that these prostheses can be used like normal teeth would be, meaning far fewer eating restrictions and other limits that previously held patients back.

The seamless nature by which the prostheses are adhered to the implants also help them function as normal teeth. In addition to cutting down or eliminating the restrictions on what types of foods can be chewed, this also cuts down on pain or any form of abnormal discomfort in the area. It also eliminates the need to apply adhesive cremes to the gums to hold a prosthesis in place, or to remove and have to soak units such as dentures overnight.

This technology also allows the implant dentist to have patients looking their best, as it allows prostheses to be held in place permanently and more accurately and securely than ever before. The result is every prosthesis looking as if it were a natural part of the mouth.

Whether or not you yourself has experienced difficulty with an implant dentist before or you know someone who has, the chances are great that these advancements made since then will create an entirely different experience this time around - an experience you won’t get unless you give it a try.
