Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
An alternative to dentures, dental implants (small dental appliances that are inserted into the upper and lower jaws) help to restore the mouth that has little or no restorable teeth. Dental implants are slowly replacing dentures used by some people, as they provide many advantages over traditional dentures.
Advantages of implants over dentures:
For some people, especially those with loose dentures or poor fitting due to flat ridges, or persons with multiple missing teeth who need support for crowns and bridges, implants can be considered the most appropriate alternative, instead of dentures, to fix the appearance of missing teeth.
According to the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics, implants help to:
* Reducing the movement of dentures, bridges or crowns.
* Facilitate proper chewing.
* Provide support and improved stability for removable dentures or fixed bridges.
* Approximate the “feel” of natural teeth better than dentures.
* Promote the “self-esteem through the advantages of having false teeth” as speech and appearance are often improved.
