The Miracle of
Dental Implants |
For years tooth replacement meant
removable dentures or bridges - the latter comprised of
replacement teeth connected to surrounding natural teeth.
Today, however, a new breakthrough technology gives you
replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like
natural teeth. These are dental implants.
As you probably know, a tooth consists of a crown and a
root. The crown is the part of the tooth that is visible in
the mouth; the root is the part you can’t see under the gum
tissue.
The crown is supported by the root, which is in turn
attached to the bone. Implants take the place of the root,
becoming affixed to the bone, with an artificial crown
portion attached.
Dental implants eliminate the problems of loose-fitting
complete or partial dentures. Implants also stop
deterioration in your jawbone when natural teeth are lost.
And of course the ability to eat virtually anything with
ease contributes to your overall health and feeling of
self-confidence. |
