Dental Implants – Springfield IL – An Overview
August 23, 2014
Dental implants are prosthetic devices that are placed into the jaw to replace a missing tooth. Losing teeth can have devastating effects. It results in lack of confidence while smiling and affects social interactions in general. Lost teeth can also have detrimental effects on long term oral and medical health. Missing teeth often lead to selection of easily chewable foods, hence deprivation from some of the healthiest foods.
Dental implants provide a biocompatible surface to secure a cosmetic tooth and provide long term stability. Dental implants restore the natural smile as well as confidence of a person.
Dental implants are basically used for two purposes:
- An anchor for an artificial tooth replacement for single or multiple teeth
- An anchor to support another removable dental prosthesis such as dentures or crowns.
Most of the dental implants are made of pure or grade-five titanium. Grade-five titanium contains 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium and is stronger and more fracture resistant than pure titanium.
Some Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Carry out normal life: Dental implants are fixed in place so you do not have to worry about your teeth slipping or falling out while swimming, skiing or any other activity.
- Improves looks: Dental implants improve your facial features and feel just like your normal teeth.
- Improves speech and comfort: Dental implants are more comfortable than removable dentures.
- No alteration: In the case of dental implants, adjacent teeth are not altered.
- Normal chewing: They reduce the stress exerted on the adjoining teeth as it absorbs most of the load present with normal chewing.
- No noise: They are free from any wobbles or annoying clicks that you may get in dentures.
Dental implants are the excellent and permanent solution to the problem of lost teeth. Dr. VanderMolen and Advanced Dental Care of Springfield are your best choice for Dental Implants. We have the experience you need! Contact us at (217) 717-4551 or info@smilespringfield.com
Dental Implants a Superior Alternative
July 28, 2014
Tooth loss can make a distinct difference in your smile. Patients have many options for replacement including bridges, but Dental Implants provide the most natural alternative.
Dental implants can be the solution to all such problems as they
- Replace one or more teeth.
- Remain fixed in the specific site of placement.
- Do not drop down or click like dentures.
- Are extremely natural looking.
- Function just like natural teeth.
- Have a success rate of 95%.
- Have no detrimental effects on adjacent healthy teeth.
Dental implants are unique in the way they fuse with the jawbone, as they are able to derive complete support from the jawbone instead of deriving support from the neighboring teeth. They last longer than other tooth replacement options. In addition, they keep the bone strong, saving you from sunken cheeks due to tooth loss and bone loss.
