Discover The Advantages Of Northside Dental Implants

By Serena Price


Missing teeth are unsightly. Dentures and bridges are uncomfortable and must be removed at night. Dentures require the use of adhesives to stay in place. Northside dental implants are a permanent solution to a missing tooth or missing teeth. An artificial root is planted in the jaw where it fuses to the bone, creating a permanent anchor for replacement teeth.

Artificial roots look and feel like real teeth. They're fused to the bone so there's no slippage. Chew anything you want without your teeth moving or breaking. When you know your teeth won't slip or break, you can eat and smile with confidence. Oral health is improved with a full set of teeth. Nearby teeth don't have to be drilled or altered as is often necessary to create a bridge. Most implants will last a lifetime.

If you can sit in the dentist's chair for a dental procedure, you'll find implant dentistry an easy visit. Your dentist does need to be aware of health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. There is a small but slightly higher incidence of implant failure in smokers. If teeth have been missing for awhile, some bone loss may have occurred. Grafting techniques can rebuild the necessary bone for a successful implant.

Artificial roots are a permanent method for securing a crown where a tooth is missing or broken and decayed. A series of evenly spaced artificial roots can secure a bridge or denture. Artificial roots lock the denture in place so it doesn't move and irritate the gums. Adjoining teeth don't have to be altered to be used as anchors, which compromises their long term health.

Dentures require adhesives to stay in place. Still most denture wearers are afraid to eat difficult to chew foods like ribs and corn on the cob. Dentures move around in the mouth irritating the gums. Food gets trapped underneath causing additional irritation. To anchor a bridge, adjacent teeth must be drilled and altered, compromising their long term health. Pressure from chewing travels down the root to the jawbone. Without this pressure, bone loss occurs. Dentures and bridges that rest on the gums don't stop bone loss.

Whenever a tooth is missing, bone loss is occurring. Missing teeth can affect the bite. Even if a missing tooth is in the back of the mouth and can't be seen, the loss allows other teeth to shift and move apart. Several missing teeth make chewing difficult. Dentists recommend replacing all missing teeth, even if they can't be seen. Through grafting, missing bone can be re-created to fuse with and support implants.

Implanting artificial roots is a simple dental procedure performed under local anesthesia. It's a quick procedure, 30 to 60 minutes. The dentist will prescribe a soft food diet for a few days. Complete fusion takes a few months. Your dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to be sure the implant has fused successfully and completely.

For lifetime replacement of missing teeth, discuss the option of Northside dental implants. The artificial root is made of titanium metal. Through a process called osseointegration, the titanium root fuses with the jawbone. Once fusion is complete, replacement teeth are permanently locked in place. They can't irritate the gums. They don't decay. They look and feel and are as comfortable as real teeth.
