By Aiden ArmstrongMore and more people are choosing to go with a new state-of-the-art tooth replacement system that they find far more preferable than dentures. Dental implants in Chesterfield are made up of a small titanium posts, which is the actual implant, which will then have a dental crown attached to it. While the implant is not visible above the gum line it is a very important part of the system. You can get a single implant or you can get multiple implants to replace a whole row of teeth either upper or lower or both. It doesn’t matter whether you are missing a single tooth or many teeth; implants are preferred by patients and dentists.
Implants are the Longest Lasting of any Tooth Replacements
Since dental implants are actually attached to your .jaw bone, they become a part of it and can provide a truly permanent solution to lost teeth. When you use other methods such as bridges or dentures, there is always the possibility that they will have to be remade or replaced in time. With proper care, your implants should last you for the rest of your life. Now you can see why this makes this such a good long-term value.
Implants are Perfectly Safe for Your Natural Teeth
No matter how many implants you have placed they will never harm your natural teeth, unlike the other systems which can weaken them over time. If you choose a bridge to replace your missing teeth, your own teeth on either side are the ones that will support the bridge. This can cause them to become stressed and more susceptible to decay and weakness. The same can be said for partial dentures which can also cause your teeth to loosen and fall out of your mouth if you do not catch that in time Implants, since they stand alone, will never cause these types of issues with your natural teeth. At the Chesterfield Family Dentistry clinic, Dr. Jonathan W. Silva can skillfully place your dental implants and restore the smile you once had.
