Tooth loss can affect not just the aesthetics of the smile, but also general health and quality of life. Fortunately, today’s implantology offers a lasting and effective solution to this problem. But why is implantology considered the ideal solution for tooth loss? Let’s find out.
What is Implantology?
Implantology is a field of dentistry that deals with replacing missing teeth using implants. Implants are titanium devices inserted into the jawbone that act as a root for the missing teeth. Once in place, they can support single teeth, bridges, or dentures.
Why Choose Implantology?
Implantology offers numerous advantages over other solutions for tooth loss, making it the ideal option for many patients. Here are some of the reasons:
1.Natural Appearance: Dental implants resemble and function like natural teeth. They can be matched to the color of the other teeth, ensuring an optimal aesthetic result.
2.Improved Function: Implants enhance chewing and phonetics, allowing patients to eat and speak with ease.
3.Durability: With proper home care and regular check-ups and hygiene sessions, dental implants can last many years.
4.Minimally Invasive: Implants do not require the grinding of adjacent teeth, thus preserving oral health.
5.Prevention of Bone Atrophy: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone atrophy that can follow tooth loss.
How Does Implantology Work?
The process begins with an evaluation of the patient’s oral health and jawbone through scans and three-dimensional radiography. Once the patient’s suitability is confirmed, the implant insertion procedure is scheduled. After a healing period, during which the bone fuses with the implant in a process called “osseointegration,” the prosthetic crown is fixed.
Who Can Benefit from Implantology?
Implantology may be ideal for those who have lost one or more teeth due to gum disease, decay, or trauma. However, the ideal candidate should have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by the dentist will determine an individual’s suitability for the procedure.
Conclusion
Implantology is an advanced and effective solution for those who have lost one or more teeth. It offers significant benefits in terms of aesthetics, function, and oral health, making it an ideal choice for many patients.
