General dentistry treats oral health, functional and cosmetic concerns, and it includes teeth replacement with dental implants. Learning more about dental implants, including what it is, how the process works and who it is for, can help you decide if it is the best way for you to replace missing teeth.
All general dentists develop their own way of dealing with patients and helping them through the dental implants process. However, there are common expectations you can have before treatment. This review offers a detailed review of dental implants and how they can help improve oral health and appearance.Â
Dental implants are a teeth replacement solution offered by many general dentists. There are three components, which are the dental implant, the abutment and the artificial tooth. For single tooth replacement, a dental crown is attached to the implant, whereas a bridge or denture is used to replace multiple missing teeth. The secret to the longevity of dental implants is that the dental implant (a titanium screw-like post) is fixed into the jaw for a secure hold. In many instances, dental implants remain in good condition for more than twenty years when they are properly cared for.Â
Dental implants offer a range of benefits. They improve the appearance of the person’s smile, allow for better functionality while eating and speaking and offer oral health benefits. Perhaps the most notable health benefits is the ability to preserve the jawbone density. After teeth loss occurs, the bone inside of the jaw can become lost. Dental implants prevent this as the titanium post goes through a process called osseointegration in which the bone and implant fuse together. Most general dentists encourage any patient who is concerned about their appearance, oral health or ability to function due to teeth loss to consider dental implants.Â
Some general dentists help with the implants process and perform the implant placement process. The general dentist is there to help each step of the process, from establishing treatment goals on the initial visit to providing aftercare long-term after the treatment process is complete.
If you have one or more missing teeth, then you should consider dental implants. Each treatment is customized for the patient, and a general dentist can use it to replace a single tooth (implant-supported crown), a section of teeth (implant-supported bridge) or an entire row of teeth (implant-supported dentures). Although the process takes time, the long-term results make the treatment process worth it.Â
