Implants.
Improved Appearance
There are two parts to every tooth. The crown
and the root. The crown is the visible part and the root is the unseen part
which anchors the tooth in your jawbone, providing stable support for your
crown. When an entire tooth is lost – crown and root - shrinkage of the jawbone
may occur making the face look older. Dental implants can stop this process.
There are many ways to
replace tooth crowns, but only dental implants can replace the entire tooth
including both crown and root. Dental implants look, feel and function like your
own natural teeth.
Improved
Comfort
Dental implants eliminate the pain and
discomfort of removable full or partial dentures. Since dentures sit on top of
the jawbone and gums, continuous shrinkage of the jaw bone alters the fit of the
denture resulting in slipping or rocking of the dentures. Exposed nerves and
irritation of the gum tissue may add to the discomfort.
Implant supported replacement teeth are like natural teeth because they are
anchored securely to your jawbone. Gum irritation and the pain of exposed nerves
associated with conventional full or partial dentures are eliminated.
Improved
speech
With ill fitting dentures, the
teeth slip and slide around the mouth. The facial muscles become tense in an
attempt to hold the teeth in place. This often results in mumbling, slurred
speech or clicking noises. Implant supported replacement teeth allow you to
speak with confidence in a relaxed and natural tone.
Convenience
Dental implants can eliminate the numerous
embarrassing inconveniences of removable partial and full dentures. You will
eliminate the use of gooey denture adhesives that must be re-applied throughout
the day. You will no longer need to cover your mouth when you laugh or smile,
for fear that your teeth will pop out or fall down.
Eat better
The average denture patient with an excellent
fitting denture eats at 15-20% efficiency when compared to a person with natural
teeth. As the jawbone shrinks, your chewing efficiency is reduced even more,
making it difficult to eat certain foods. Dental implants, on the other hand,
can restore chewing efficiency comparable to that of natural teeth. This allows
you to eat your favourite foods with confidence and without pain. You can enjoy
what everyone is eating and you don't have to think twice about it.
A full upper denture covers the palate of the mouth and reduces the ability to
taste foods. With dental implants, you can have the palate removed from your
upper denture so you can taste and enjoy your food.
Great value
Although dental implant treatment may
initially be more expensive than other treatment methods it often turns out to
be the best investment from a long term perspective.
Improved Self esteem
Considering all other benefits, chances are
that dental implants will improve your overall self- esteem and you will feel
better about yourself. At least that is what many of those people who have
already been treated with dental implants have told us. You can regain nearly
all the capabilities you had with your natural teeth, giving you renewed
confidence, and allowing you to enjoy life, do all the things everyone else is
doing and not think twice about it.
