If you are like most people considering dental implants, you
probably have a number of questions. The decision to proceed
with dental implant treatment is important. If affects your overall
health, appearance, and well being. For that reason, we suggest
that you see a Surgical Specialist with extensive training and
experience in placing dental implants.
What are dental implants? In simplest terms, they are substitute
tooth roots that look, feel, and function like your natural tooth
roots. The reason it is so important to replace the tooth root
as well as the visible part of the tooth (the crown) is that
natural tooth roots are embedded in the bone, providing the stable
foundation necessary to bite and chew. In essence, the bone holds
the tooth roots in place and tooth roots preserve the bone.
When teeth are missing, the bone that previously supported those
teeth melts away, or deteriorates. This process is called bone
resorption. However, the bone can be preserved by replacing missing
tooth roots with dental implants – unlike a traditional
bridge that does not the preserve bone, or a removable prosthesis
that may actually accelerate bone deterioration.
