If you’re considering any type of dental work that involves the replacement of a tooth or teeth, then you may be researching what dental implants are and if they are the best cosmetic dentistry option for you.
Dental implants are a popular option and superior choice, as they can improve smiles, jaw function and speech. They may not be a real tooth but they certainly look like one and people cannot tell if you have a dental implant.
As experienced providers of dental implants Melbourne, we provide the following information to assist you to further your understanding of dental implants before you make an appointment with Holistic Dental Melbourne cbd.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Aside from their natural look, dental implants are a great option for the following reasons:
=> They directly replace the missing tooth without negatively affecting surrounding teeth
=> They are strong and built for longevity
=> They are made from safe materials
=> They assist to keep your other teeth in position
=> They do not rot (although you still need check-ups to ensure your gums and other teeth remain in the best of oral health)
=> They assist with chewing as your other teeth have an opposite tooth once the dental implant is in place.
About Dental Implants
A Dental implant is an artificial tooth that has three parts; the post, abutment and restoration. The post is the bottom section, the abutment attaches to the post and the restoration which is the top section that looks like the natural tooth, called the crown. The crown is matched to your tooth colour, so it blends in and people are unaware that your tooth is not natural. With this in mind, you can feel confident and smile your best smile ever.
The main component of most dental implants is titanium which integrates well with the body. The type of dental implant will depend on the state of your overall health and dental health. Underlying health conditions may prevent you from having a dental implant and the only way to determine this is to book in for a consultation with our friendly dentists.
Through oral surgery, the implant post is integrated into the jawbone for stability – also called osseo-integration. Once this is stable, the abutment and restoration follow. X-rays are required to assess your oral health before proceeding with this dental treatment and to ascertain if this is right for you.
