Introduction on Dental Implants

Abstract: With more and more people are beginning to focus on their dental health, the problem of dental implants is becoming hot. We should have knowledge of dental implants.

Sometimes, our teeth may be lost because of a variety of reasons, including shanghai dental, periodontal disease, trauma, infection, and congenital abnormalities and so on. If teeth are lost, it may have great influence on our daily life, such as decreasing your confidence. Under the circumstance of valuing nice smile and misjudging those without teeth, people usually take measures to replacing missing teeth.

The loss of teeth will lead to some serious problems, for example, the bone around those loss teeth is no longer stimulated, and ultimately disintegrates. At last, the teeth will be shifted, and the esthetics of the face among other things will be changed.

Therefore, most people tend to replace loss teeth, and dental implants is one of the most ideal solutions, which we can replace a single tooth or an entire smile. A dental implant, which is closer to real teeth, is used to replace the root of a tooth. A dental implant is similar with tooth roots, and it is a kind of small prosthetic titanium post, which is placed in the jaw bone.

After dental implants are surgically placed, they are not visible. Then new bone will grow around the implant, which can help to secure it firmly. In addition, we can use dental implant post to protect an artificial tooth, bridgework or dentures. The dentures which are anchored by dental implants can change life of patients, for example, patients can eat normal diet, and can become confidence when they chew food.

What is more, dental implants are suitable for almost everyone, no matter who is missing teeth or who may need tooth replacement in the future. There are many advantages for patients after dental implants, for example, increasing confidence in their smile, the ability to eat comfortably, and a clean, healthy oral environment. Though dental implants are durable and can last for a long term, we should also pay attention to maintenance. In general, we must keep good daily oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. In addition, you had better see your dentist regularly, who will help you to maintain the bone around the implants stable.
