Do you have a missing tooth or missing teeth you would like to have replaced? One amazing option is titanium dental implants.
Below is helpful information about dental implants, the benefits of titanium dental implants, and whether or not titanium implants are right for you.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a teeth replacement option that involves the placement of rods into the jawbone to hold false teeth in place. They can be used to replace as few as a single tooth and as many as an entire row of teeth.
Implant systems involve different parts made of varying materials. One common option for the implant rod itself is titanium.
Titanium Dental Implants and Their Advantages
There are some amazing benefits to titanium dental implants. These include:
- Outstanding strength. Titanium is extremely strong and provides outstanding strength and longevity not only when compared to other materials, but also compared to other replacement options. While dental bridges, for instance, provide a good level of support, dental implants are unmatched.
- Jawbone health. The health of your jawbone will be affected by having a missing tooth or teeth. Over time, the jawbone will generally begin to deteriorate, causing sagging. Dental implants help to ensure the strength of the jawbone and help to stop deterioration from occurring.
- Prevention of teeth migration. If you have a gap in your smile, your teeth will begin to shift over time. This leads to crookedness, crowding, and impacting.
- Oral health. Not only is teeth migration a cosmetic concern, but it also can lead to major oral health issues (due to it being more difficult to brush and floss). Dental implants help to keep your teeth in place and prevent migration.
- Confidence. Having a gap in your smile may affect your self-esteem and confidence. Dental implants provide you with a full smile you can be proud of, which can boost your overall esteem and confidence.
Are Titanium Implants Right for Me?
Whether or not titanium dental implants are right for you is a decision that needs to be made between your dentist and you. While there are many advantages to titanium implants, you may have an allergy, or you may want an option that is more seamless along the gumline. Whatever the case may be, it’s necessary to first visit your dentist for a consultation and examination to see not only if titanium implants are right for you, but also implants in general.
An important consideration with the placement of implants is jawbone integrity. If your jawbone isn’t strong enough to place implants you may need a bone grafting procedure, which will take extra time and money. This is an important consideration you’ll need to discuss with your dentist.
