Have you ever heard about dental implants?
These are the direct and effective solution to the replacement of lost teeth.
This procedure is quite popular as it is one of the greatest advances in dentistry in the last 40 years.
They are made of titanium and other materials compatible with the human body. They are like screws that are surgically inserted into the upper or lower jaw, where they serve as a foundation for replacement teeth.
An advantage of implants is that neighboring teeth do not need to be worn down to support the replacement teeth.
Who are candidates to receive an implant?
To receive implants, it is necessary:
- To have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant.
- Have enough bone structure.
- Keep in mind that the procedure may be less successful if you smoke, grind your teeth, or have a chronic disease such as diabetes.
If you are interested in dental implants, it is a good idea to discuss it carefully with your dentist. If you are in good health, this treatment may be an option for you. You may need to receive a medical evaluation by a physician before any implant surgery is scheduled.
