Dental implant
Dental implants are a significant investment in both your health and your self-esteem. They provide a stable base that allows you to chew comfortably and to smile and speak confidently.
What is a dental implant?
- Dental implants are a synthetic root that is placed in the jaw in the place of missing teeth and serve as a support for crowns, bridges, or to stabilize removable dentures.
- Implants are made of titanium, a material that is well tolerated and integrates easily in the bone. Once the dental implants are osteointegrated, a process that usually lasts 3-6 months, the final prosthetic structure - crowns, bridges or removable dentures is placed.
Factors influencing the stability of the dental implant
Good overall health and the presence of sufficient bone are factors influencing the results. In patients with chronic diseases, with suppressed immune system, smokers, younger people whose jaws are developing, the results can be compromised.
Benefits of dental implants
At Davidova Dental, we work with a team of implantologists and maxillofacial surgeons and provide and long-term functioning of the dental implants that look, feel and work as real teeth. Implants have many advantages:
-
durability;
All that is needed to ensure a long life of implants in your mouth is excellent oral hygiene and examinations once every 6 months. Just like you care for your own teeth, you need to take care of your implants.
-
it is easier to eat and improve your comfort;
You can easily eat foods such as crunchy fruits and vegetables, nuts, hard and chewy foods that would be difficult to eat with dentures. So you can focus on your daily activities instead of worrying about your teeth.
-
improve your self-esteem;
Dental implants give you a smile and help you feel more confident. You do not need to stay home or feel embarrassed and uncomfortable in public because your smile looks different.
-
improve your appearance and your speech;
Dental implants retain the natural shape of the face. Thanks to them you smile and speak naturally and confidently because a toothless face looks older and sad.
-
lack of caries;
Since dental implants are made of synthetic material, they do not suffer from caries, although gingival tissue around the implant still needs care to prevent infection or irritation.
-
improve your comfort;
The prostheses are much more stable and do not need a denture fixation cream when implants are used to hold them.
-
improve your oral health;
Dental implants protect the teeth adjacent to the missing ones from damage, displacement, and drilling. Single implants allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
-
prevent and reduce bone loss in your jaws;
