The dental field has advanced so much that along with treating infections and hiding stains and blemishes, it is also possible to replace missing teeth such that one can’t say whether it is a natural or artificial tooth.
A dental implant is basically an artificial tooth that is fixed into the jawbone. A titanium rod is set in the bone. It takes up to 6 months for the titanium rod to fuse properly with the jawbone and become part of the jaw. After this the tooth is attached and set in place. The entire process can take up to a year depending on the number of teeth being implanted.
Teeth can go missing due to age, infection or accidents. When there are teeth missing, the largest impact is on the smile. Even a single tooth missing can affect the way you feel about yourself. With dental implants there is a renewed chance to get back that smile. Though dental implants can get very expensive and the entire process takes some time, the end result can be quite brilliant. A well don’t implant will look just like natural teeth and it will be difficult to differentiate between the two.
Dental implants offer new hope for those who are missing teeth. They are an opportunity to flash that million dollar smile once more and face the world confidently.
