If you have ever suffered from tooth loss from either genetics, a physical accident or from eating something that broke your tooth, you should consider getting dental implants to replace your missing teeth. Prolonged periods of missing teeth can have a prolific effect on your oral health. If left untreated, you could suffer from other teeth loss, severe oral gum diseases and it can even spread to your entire jaw resulting in an emergency jaw replacement. By consulting with your Dentist and receiving a thorough oral exam, your Dentist can recommend an implant treatment plan specific for your needs.
A dental implant involves installing a titanium post in the gum line where the missing tooth once was. This post serves as the base for a new tooth. Because a mature tooth never grows back once it has been remove, your Dentist will have to create a new tooth from various compote materials. The new tooth is installed on top of the post once the compote has been properly mixed, measured, molded and hardened. The new tooth latches on and is screwed together with the post. The screws are properly hidden through use of a specially made material to match the new tooth.
Once the new tooth is X-rayed to ensure proper installation, the tooth is expected to last a lifetime with proper maintenance. The new tooth normally takes at least three months to fully settle in the mouth and to allow the other teeth to align with its new neighbor. Therefore, to help ensure acceptable teeth movement the Dentist should be visited at least once during the first three months and twice per year to ensure the teeth are being properly taken care of and for other preventative treatments.
