Save Your Teeth From Being Shaved Off!

April 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Pune: As we age, some of us will lose teeth due to disease, injury, or simple daily wear.  Traditionally, when a tooth was lost, the only fixed (non-removable) option for its replacement was a dental bridge. Bridges are constructed of metal sub-frames with tooth-colored porcelain applied to approximate the natural color of your existing teeth. These types of bridges are usually cemented to adjacent, healthy tooth structures, which serve as an abutment. Typically, conventional bridges require shaving a part of the healthy teeth adjacent to a missing tooth. A 3 unit bridge is then placed on these shaped teeth to support the artificial tooth. The goal of the bridge is to restore chewing function and achieve an acceptable aesthetic outcome.

Apart from grounding down functional teeth, it provides potential for increased risk to the prepared teeth. There are some other disadvantages that dental bridgework can have like bone under the replacement tooth is no longer stimulated by chewing and is often resorbed into the body, creating a slowly growing gap between the replacement tooth and the gums. In addition, bridgework is connected to the adjacent teeth making flossing more challenging and long term success rates of bridgework tend to be low.

Now, dental implants provide a more advanced replacement technology for a missing tooth than a traditional bridge. Dental implants eliminate the need for grinding down healthy teeth. Dental implants are small metal screws designed specifically to replace your natural tooth root. Manufactured from titanium, dental implants provide a highly biocompatible surface like TiUnite, encouraging bone to attach to the implant during the healing process to ensure long-term results. Dental implants create stimulation to the underlying bone, enhancing long-term esthetics. Restoring your tooth with all-ceramic Procera components (crown and abutment) can result in a beautiful, natural-looking, translucent tooth, just like the rest of your teeth.

There are many advantages of dental implants over fixed bridges. Dental implants preserve your healthy teeth as this process does not require to grid your adjacent teeth. They can be fixed with no change to the overall structure of the face or jawbone, as is often the case when a tooth is removed. Dental implant hardly ever needs to be replaced since they are not prone to tooth decay or any other disease. These implants cost slightly higher than bridges but serves as a long-term solution for missing teeth, often for life.      


More and more people are benefiting from this life changing treatment of dental implants, which is a latest advancement in dental replacement technology. Lost or damaged teeth can now be quickly and easily replaced with a more permanent, natural looking and functional alternative than bridges or dentures.  A Procera crown or bridge on Nobel Implants is a very common and effective solution for missing multiple teeth due to accidents or periodontal diseases.
