07/17/2017 Want to replace missing teeth effectively and permanently? Consider having dental implants. Dental implants are an artificial tooth root that is fitted in the jawbone to avoid gaps in between your teeth. After losing a tooth, leaving the gap for a long time can cause the teeth to drift out of place resulting in alignment issues. You may even experience a dental condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) because of leaving gaps in the teeth for long.


Why Not Dental Bridges?
Unlike dental implants, bridges are designed to only fill up the space of the missing tooth. The gap inside the jawbone where the root of your tooth used to be remains open. Bridges will not prevent a condition like TMJ.


Benefits Of Having Dental Implants
When you have dental implants to replace your missing teeth expect:

• Minimal recovery time
  
• Little if any discomfort
  
• An affordable tooth restoration procedure
  
• An easy to maintain dental treatment for missing teeth
  
• To eat different kinds of foods and drinks with no trouble
  
• A permanent dental treatment that does not need to be removed
  
• To get a more stable jawbone as a result of the implant and keep teeth alignment issues at bay.
  

Dental implants save you from the discomfort of dentures that can easily slip when you talk or eat. You will never have to feel less confident when you have implants because they are designed to mimic your natural teeth and give you a nice-looking smile. Dental implants are crafted to suit every patient so you can be rest assured of a reliable tooth replacement procedure.


Are You A Candidate For Dental Implants?
Most people can have dental implants as an effective restoration procedure. However, there are cases when implants are not ideal for you. Let's look at a few factors that make you a good candidate for dental implants.
- Do you have sufficient bone density?
The dental implant needs to be supported by the jawbone. The dentist will place a titanium support root inside the jaw. That is why you will undergo an initial assessment to determine if you have strong bone tissue in the jaw area.
- Do you have any infections?
If you are suffering from an active infection or you have a gum disease, you will need to seek treatment first before the dental implant procedure is done. Gum infections can put you at risk of serious health conditions and must be fully addressed prior to getting your dental implants.
- Do you promise to practice good oral hygiene?

When you have dental implants, you must make that commitment to practice sound dental hygiene. Although dental implants are made from strong materials like porcelain and titanium, you still need to take good care of your teeth and gums in order for the implants to last. You will not need any unique care when it comes to implants but for them to remain durable as they should, brush your teeth daily, floss regularly and visit your dentist for checkups at least twice every year.
