Follow on Google News |  Are Dental Implants the Best Choice for Missing Teeth?Thanks to continuing advancements in dental technology patients now have more options than ever for many common ailments, like a missing tooth. Here is a breakdown of the options currently available and why dental implants are the best choice.
By: Lisa Hernandez Partial Dentures: A partial denture is removable and not permanently fixed in place, therefore, the surrounding teeth may weaken as a result, or even cause bone loss in the area. Many people experience noises or a feeling of awkwardness with a denture as well. Fixed Bridges: A fixed bridge usually requires the surrounding teeth to be cut or ground down in order for the bridge to have an anchor. This leaves room for future decay which could mean possible replacement of the bridge before its time. Bridges normally need to be replaced on an average of every 10 years. What is a dental implant? A dental implant is a screw that is placed into the bone, replacing the missing tooth. After several months bonding occurs between the implant and the bone. After this process is complete, a crown is placed at the implant site. A dental implant is the best option to replace a single tooth, several teeth or to replace all your teeth. They function and look completely natural. In addition, an implant could last a lifetime. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jose J.
