How Dental Implants Give You Bite Security Through A Strong Connection
For some people, learning about dental implants is not something that they focus on until they are in need of a prosthodontic solution. If you have recently lost a tooth, or if you have received a diagnosis that requires an extraction, this may be the first time you have given the subject any thought. Take this time to learn about the advantages of a biocompatible prosthodontic option.
Dental implants provide a lasting smile repair through a particular biochemical mechanism, in which your body recognizes titanium as if it were part of your own natural material. Instead of rejecting this metal, your jaw will grow snugly around the threads in a titanium post. This then creates the stable foundation for your new dental implant!
Your New Dental Implant Is Designed To Last
After your period of recovery, your dentist will attach a custom new prosthetic tooth to your titanium implant post. Be sure to speak with your provider about how to properly maintain your replacement. For most patients, this process is not too different from your current smile care. With the proper maintenance, your dental implant will be able to last you for years!
If you damage your new prosthetic tooth, a new replacement can be crafted. In many instances, your dentist will be able to change your existing dental implant attachment without affecting your post!
