With the unique ability to reconstruct the roots of lost teeth, dental implants offer a wide range of benefits for your immediate and long-term oral health. Like all dental treatments, however, your oral health specialist will make sure that you thoroughly understand the process of receiving dental implants, they’re overall benefits, and what you can expect. If you have more questions, then we encourage you to ask them before you opt to receive dental implant posts.
Why They’re the Best Option
There are many different aspects to your oral health, and all of them are intricately connected to each other in ways that aren’t always immediately obvious. For instance, the roots that keep your teeth steady are held securely by your jawbone, therefore tooth retention requires a strong and healthy jawbone. Likewise, your jawbone relies on teeth roots to provide the stimulation that signals your body to send it enough nutrients to support your teeth. Dental implant posts are the only prosthetic dental options to rebuild lost teeth roots, making them the best option for reestablishing the intricate connection between your lost tooth and the rest of your oral health.
How to Qualify for Implants
Just as they rely on each other for support, the different aspects of your dental health can also affect each other if one or more develop a dental disease. For instance, the leading cause of tooth loss is gum disease, which begins in your gums and can eventually erode the underlying jawbone structure. One of the most important things to consider before getting implants is whether your gums and jawbone are healthy enough to support the posts. If not, then you may require personalized gum disease treatment, jawbone grafting, or more to qualify for implant placement.
