Implants Will Prevent More Tooth Loss

Professional dentists confirm that tooth loss can generate more tooth loss. The problem is your jawbone can get weakened when one of your teeth is removed. The consequences of tooth removal can be represented by infection, gum disease which could lead to softening the foundation of surrounding teeth. One of the ways to prevent this weakening is to use a dental implant for one of your missing teeth. A lot of patients cannot imagine how a dental implant looks like.
Simply, it is a titanium screw that is allocated instead of a missing root. A crown of it is made of ceramic. Besides, these titanium screws will not let any infection to be spread. The titanium screws are usually covered with a bone growth stimulator which helps to fix an implant to the bone. Your physical structure will threat an implant as a real tooth and the bone will start growing around it following the shape of a new screw. A bond can be steadier than it happens in the original conditions.
As a result, this implant will not let other teeth be lost. This fact in considered to be one of the greatest benefits of an implant in comparison to bridges and dentures. Another benefit of implants is that they can have a natural look and no one will say that you have implants instead of real teeth. Besides, no drilling is needed if a set of expansion screws is used.
These expansion screws are usually made of stainless steel and they do look like implant screws. Dentists use expansion screws one after another increasing the size of these screws gradually till the space for an implant screw is enough. The procedure is rather painless as our jawbone is elastic and can be expanded like a rubber. Thanks to these implants, a patient will not feel any discomfort and will be able to get new teeth for one business day.
