Tooth loss is a common side effect of both gum disease and tooth decay. Living with missing teeth and not being able to chew is no longer a dilemma that patients should have to live with. Dental implants can eliminate that problem and restore patients to a full complement of teeth.
Dental implants are made of titanium and function to replace any/all of the teeth that have been lost by patients. If a patient has lost his/her teeth from tooth decay, root canal failure, gum disease (periodontitis), trauma, congenitally missing teeth (ie. Permanent teeth that were not formed); then dental implants are the best option for that patient.
Dental implants can be used to support individual crowns, multiple crowns and even dentures. So, is a patient is missing a single tooth, multiple teeth or all the teeth; then he/she may be a viable candidate for dental implants.
Advancements have been made in the design of implants, that “mini” implants can now be offered to many patients. So, many patients who have “narrow bone”, can be considered as a candidate for the “mini” implants.
So no-one should live or function with missing teeth. Dental implants can change the lifestyle and comfort for many patients.
