Dental implants are one
of the latest treatments that are especially designed for patients to
replace a single tooth. The procedure consists of three techniques:
the titanium implant, the abutment and the crown.
Patients who have lost a
single tooth can look for a fixed bridge. However, bridges may
require the cutting adjacent and healthy teeth. This technique also
involves an additional cost of replacing the bridges once, twice or
even more in upcoming years. Likewise, a temporary partial denture
can be used to replace loss of adjacent teeth. According to the
dental researches, there is a failure rate of 30% in teeth fitted
next to fixed bridges or temporary partial dentures.
In addition, traditional
dentures can result in the loss of bone where the teeth are missing.
Basically, the natural teeth preserve the jawbone. When a tooth drops
down, your jawbone may get weak until you get a grafting bone
treatment done. But when a missing tooth is treated with an advanced
dental implant, the jaw bone provides complete stability to your jaw,
same as the natural tooth does.
So, if you are agitated with your
missing tooth, look out for a reputable dentist and get a dental implant treatment done. Smile like before!
