Implant Restoration

Losing a tooth to an accident or otherwise can not only be painful and inconvenient, but can also cause serious detriment to your self-esteem. A missing tooth can throw the mouth off balance, causing problems for chewing and speaking. While a more traditional solution to the problem of missing teeth is removable dentures, it is hardly as convenient as modern implant restorations.

Dental implant restorations have several advantages over dentures. Firstly, dentures tend to interfere chewing and are not half as efficient as real teeth. Secondly, dentures need to be taken out to be cleaned. Also, cleaning dentures is inconvinient. Modern dentistry has invented a permanent solution to such problems.

Dental implant restorations simulate the presence of actual human teeth. A dental implant called ’anchor’ is surgically placed in the space of the missing tooth and topped with a crown, preferably tooth colored. Residual gum and bone tissue grow around the implant, further strengthening its position as time passes.

The final effect is that of a healthy set of sparkling teeth. Due to their permanent nature, regular visits to the dentist and basic oral hygiene is all you will need to take good care of your dental implants. Dental implants are also proven to cause lesser obstruction in speech and chewing.
