Missing teeth are not only a potential source of embarrassment, but they can also adversely affect a patient nutritionally. When food is not properly masticated (chewed), proper nutrition from that food can be denied the body. Canton, Michigan implant dentist, Bright Side Dental, advises patients to get dental implants whenever possible.
Do you have missing teeth? Badly damaged teeth? Are you missing your front teeth? Are your dentures or partials uncomfortable or poorly fitting, causing you speech trouble or pain? All these dental anxieties can be permanently handled with dental implants.
Permanently placed, they look and feel like a natural tooth. Because they are fused fully to the jawbone, they can be a foundation for a crown or can be used to mount dentures or partials so they don't slip or shift in the mouth. As a technology, a dental implant has been thoroughly proven as a safe and effective solution.
The dental implant procedure begins with removal of any damaged or broken teeth. Then, a metal post is surgically placed beneath the gum for each tooth needing an implant. This post is given three to six months to fuse to the bone. This process is known as osseointegration, which is the development of a permanent bond with the bone.
The implant post is made of titanium, found by accident by a Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark to have the unique quality of actually bonding permanently to living bone tissue. This discovery is considered one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of that time. The use of titanium is what makes dental implants so popular and successful, as this permanency makes the tooth feel and act like a real natural tooth.
Temporary teeth are made and used during the time it takes for the implant to initially heal. Once osseointegration occurs, the dentist can complete the implant procedure with the placement of crowns, or attachment of partial or complete dentures.
Bright Side Dental has an implant dentist who operates in each of their three offices, including Canton, making the procedure very convenient. All of your work is done in just one office without having to drive other places, complete other admission procedures, or get to know new staff.
Can anyone have implants? According to the Journal of the American Dental Association, “Healthy gums and bone are necessary to support dental implants. Patients who want to have implants must commit to a meticulous oral hygiene routine, including flossing, brushing and regular dental visits to help protect the supporting tissues from any disease. Because dental implant placement is a surgical procedure, candidates must be in good overall health. Successful fusion of the bone to the implant requires good periodontal health, so people at higher risk of experiencing gum disease — such as those with diabetes or those who smoke — might not be good candidates.”
