Due to gum disease, decay, or accident, many individuals lose just one tooth. A removable partial denture, a fixed partial denture (bridge), or a dental implant are all common treatments for single tooth replacements. Although each of these choices has advantages, implants are typically thought to be the most effective.
The majority of single tooth replacements are now thought to be best treated with dental implants. As they resemble the missing tooth and root, they are the most natural therapy. Osseointegration is the process by which the titanium implant fuses with the surrounding bone and tissue. Since the bond created by this procedure is so strong and reliable, the implant can perform just like a natural tooth. In addition to permitting normal chewing and speaking and maintaining the health of the remaining teeth, gums, and bone, the implant supports the surrounding bone and tissue. Although the crown of an implant may need to be replaced after prolonged use, implants provide a more long-lasting solution.
Like any other tooth, your implant needs daily brushing and flossing as well as twice-yearly dental exams in order to be cared for and kept in good condition. Your implant can provide a lifetime of natural-feeling teeth without affecting your ability to chew or speak if you practice good oral hygiene.
