Dental Implants are nothing new; in fact,
Dental Implants have been helping people replace missing teeth for thousands of
years.
According to Wikipedia, Archaeologists are responsible for unearthing
ancient Mayan skulls from 600 A.D. These skulls were filled with semi-precious
stones such as lapis, jade, crystal quartz, and turquoise. Other civilizations hammered
seashells into their gums to resemble their lost teeth. Those early Cosmetic
Dentists helped modern dentists create Dental Implants based on those early
procedures. Just like today, some of those implants actually fused to the bone.
Modern Dental Implants can replace an entire
mouthful of teeth or your missing front tooth. Dental Implants are quickly
becoming the chosen method when it comes to deciding between dentures and
Dental Implants.
Dental Implants provide a solid foundation
for natural looking replacement teeth. After your Dental Implant procedure, you
can eat and drink like the old days without having to worry about loose
dentures or a broken bridge. With Dental Implants, you can smile knowing that
your new teeth have given you a reason to flash those pearly whites again.
When you schedule a no obligationconsultation with your Dentist for Dental Implants the two of you will discuss
your health history and your dentist will examine your teeth and gums in order
to determine your candidacy for Dental Implants. If you have any problems such
as gingivitis or periodontal disease, those issues will be addressed before any
Dental Implant procedures begin.
If your Dental Implant Surgery is given the
green light, your dentist will place tiny posts, usually made from titanium,
into your jawbone to replace your missing teeth. Because the posts fuse to the
jawbone, a strong foundation is created for your natural looking artificial teeth.
Dental Implants take a few months to complete depending on your particular
situation, but it is well worth the time. Dental implants not only preserve
facial structure, but can also be used to stop bone deterioration that occurs
when you are missing a tooth.
Schedule an appointment with your Dentist for
Dental Implants. Not only will you have more self-confidence, but you will also
be able to talk, laugh, eat, and enjoy life more than you have in years.
