The concept of Dental Implants

People worldwide loose their teeth almost everyday due to tooth decay, trauma or other reasons. These teeth never grow back if the person has passed a certain age. In old times artificial detachable teeth were fixed in place of the teeth lost. These teeth had to be taken off while sleeping and would sometimes not really gel with the natural teeth around it. 

Dental Implants have changed the way these broken teeth were replaced. Now one can have the same functionality as that of natural teeth in the mouth even after losing one or several teeth due to any reason. Although it is not really possible to have the same feeling that one had while having natural teeth. Dental implants have helped many a patients improve their speech and chewing abilities. The overall health of an individual that was deteriorating due to absence of teeth has been known to be restored with the help of Dental Implants.

Dental Implants are fixtures that are made out of titanium. The Dental implant is made of two parts the root and crown. Crown forms the part that is visible above the gums and root forms the part hat is hidden underneath. The rot needs to be embedded into the jaw bone and supports the tooth.

Although the cost of the Implant may look to be way out of the budget but considering the long term benefits of these implants in terms of health and the savings one will be able to achieve in terms of oral hygiene costs and the medicine costs incurred on medicines due to indigestion and other problems related to the digestive system the cost of the dental implant will be worth its cost.

Its always advisable to get dental implants as soon as possible as the teeth surrounding the missing teeth along with the jaw bone will start movement and it will not be really possible for the dentist to fix an implant in place of the missing tooth without a complicated surgery.

A missing tooth is not just a cosmetic concern as it can lead to several health problems in the long run that are not really visible in the day to day life but may turn into big health hazards. It’s always best to consult a dentist in case one has lost a tooth and wants to go for a Dental Implant. Dental Implant costs are certainly low in many countries like India which are promoting Dental and Health tourism in a big way.
