Everything you need to know about dental implants.
A dental implant is a surgical method of replacing a missing tooth - it is a very common procedure and an effective way for people who have had to have a tooth removed for various reasons.
People with dental implants say that they perceive it as a natural tooth and do not feel any discomfort. If you take proper care of your mouth and follow all the necessary hygiene measures, the implant will serve you for the rest of your life.
A dental implant replaces a lost tooth. The cause of tooth loss can be:
- Caries;
- Gum disease;
- Tooth underdevelopment;
- Tooth decay;
- Cracked teeth due to trauma, etc.
When a tooth is removed/lost, not only visual discomfort occurs, but also problems with eating and speaking are expected.
The benefits of dental implants are:
- Improved chewing ability;
- You smile confidently;
- You no longer have difficulty speaking;
- The jawbone and line are preserved;
Once implanted, you have them permanently and do not require replacement or other dental procedures;
They are good for the stability of the prosthesis.
If you have a dental implant and you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to contact your dentist:
- The implant has loosened;
- Bleeding from the gums;
- Fever;
- Pus around the implant;
- Swollen gums;
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
