Why Are Dental Implants Regarded As The Next Best Thing To Natural Teeth?
There’s no getting away from the fact that dental implants do make for some great looking replacement teeth. They fill the gap where the missing tooth once was and blend in so that no-one would even know you had a false tooth. They also help you eat your food much better and totally restore your confidence. That’s all very well, but surely that is no different from the benefits of replacing your teeth with a partial denture or bridge?
The fact of the matter is that there are numerous options for tooth loss replacement and many of these look pretty good. The thing is, it’s not just about looking good, it’s also about functioning in a similar manner to a natural tooth without any compromise. This is why dental implants in Richmond and elsewhere in the country, are so phenomenal since they literally mimic the structure, look, and function of a natural tooth.
Although other devices do a similar job in filling the gap, improving your smile, and helping you chew your food, no other device is designed to be placed into the jaw bone. Every anatomical part of the tooth is important and this fact has not been ignored in the creation of the dental implant.
The upper part of the tooth, or crown, is painstakingly re-created with a beautiful porcelain crown that is colour matched to your remaining teeth and given little grooves and cusps which are anatomically correct. Looking just like real enamel, it has a transparency to it too.
As opposed to other devices such as bridges and dentures, implants also replace the tooth root and this is done by surgically placing the titanium implant into the jaw bone. Over time this fuses in a biological process with the surrounding bone to become a permanent fixture in the jaw. This procedure is vital since it stimulates the bone, putting a halt to any bone loss, and enables the tooth to stand alone without putting any stress on neighbouring teeth.
Dental implants do replicate the looks of natural teeth, but not just for cosmetic purposes but borne out of a need for improved functionality.
