Dental implants have become the basic solution for those who have lost or are facing the loss of one or even all of their natural teeth. In earlier days, a traditional denture was the only way for replacing an entire row of missing teeth. Since traditional dentures are readily available and seem less costly than natural looking dental implants, many people are still suffering with upper and lower dentures. That is unfortunate because it is devastating to their self confidence and self esteem. Indeed to their entire quality of life. Dentures cause them embarrassment and hold them back in their careers and social settings. Dental implants are now providing a more acceptable solution for these people. Dental implants are often placed by expert dental surgeons and restored by their prosthetic dental partners to help patients replace their missing teeth. Better yet a few dentist have tackled the daunting task of becoming experts in all phases of dental implants; both the surgical and prosthetics. Even more rare but desirable is the dentist who has master all phases of dental implantology as well as general and cosmetic dentistry. Basically dental implants are titanium based artificial tooth roots that are used to replace missing natural roots. Teeth attached to these dental implants can restore the natural beauty of one’s smile, restore the ability to eat and taste foods, and eliminate the stigma associated with having one or more teeth missing. Patients who are about to lose most or all of their teeth, in either the upper or lower arch, have found a permanent solution by choosing dental implants. Full dental implants are helping them to successfully replace all of their damaged or decaying teeth without any discomfort. Unlike removable dentures, they don’t slip and also make it possible for people to eat anything they could with their natural teeth. Dental implants offer several advantages over conventional dentures. Dental implants are placed where teeth once grew. Because there is no need for suction to hold them in or a large plate of plastic to place the teeth in they can be customized to look and feel just like natural teeth without the puffiness under the nose and in the cheeks caused by the extended flanges of dentures. Additionally dental implants stimulate bone growth and help maintain the youthful form of the face. Eating is a pleasure again with dental implants. Because the teeth are so secure corn on the cob, ribs, steak, and apples are as natural to eat as they are for someone with their own teeth. This would never be possible with dentures. Whereas traditional dentures and bridges need to be replaced every few years, dental implants, if handled with care, can remain operative for a lifetime. Dental implants are the answer for those missing a few or all of their teeth. The initial cost will be more than conventional dentures but because of a decreased need for replacement and repair this tends to even out over time. And who would care if it didn’t. The increased quality of life promised by dental implants compared to dentures is priceless.
