Thanks to the continuous technological advances in dental implant technology, dental implants provide an alternative in place of traditional partial or full bridges and dentures that fill in gap in the mouth. Since a natural tooth is comprised of roots, pulp or dentin, and crown, a dental implant has three parts that begin with the introduction the titanium screw in the jawbone and gum to serve as new dental “roots.” After the gum and jawbone heal , and there is acceptance of the titanium root, the connector or abutment will be put on top of the screw of titanium. The last part that is the new tooth crown will be put into its place. The result is a tooth that is as strong as a natural tooth , capable of eating all kinds of food without fear.
Check out the following benefits that give full mouth dental implants a good alternative to bridges and full dentures used to bridge the gap left by the tooth loss.
Bone structure preservation
Gums are the natural teeth of people that are supported from the bone beneath the gums, which is known as the jawbone. When teeth are lost and the bone weakens which causes facial structures changing as the jawbone’s height decreases, that causes the cheeks and corners of the mouth to sag and sink. A dental implant that is full mouth just as durable as natural tooth roots can stimulate the bone inside the jaw, and offers security to the dental implant crown.
Preservation of nearby teeth
Implants in the mouth that are full-mouth prevent the natural teeth that remain from shifting, causing misalignment and problems with bites and can also help reduce the wear and tear that occurs on the adjacent teeth. They need to be trimmed for a denture or bridge without roots to connect to the natural teeth. Natural teeth do double duty in supporting the bite pressure from the bridge and denture made of artificial material which results in a decrease in the strength of natural teeth.
More rate of success
Titanium dental implants are strong. The power lies in the gum and bone which grow around the implant material. Implants don’t require periodic replacements that are typically required with bridges or dentures. When properly maintained, like one would with normal teeth, a complete mouth dental implant could last for 30 years.
Cost-efficient
It is a benefit that every person wants. While it may be a cause for some trepidation at first Patients must remember that it is a one-time expense that can result in several years of use and comfort.
