Dental Implants Can Restore the Functionality and Appearance of Your Smile for Life

If you are feeling good about life, a smile comes naturally. Scientists say a smile alters brain chemistry, helping you feel good about yourself. Unfortunately, if you have lost teeth, you may not see the joy and excitement of smiling often—the unsightly gap makes you self-conscious and embarrassed about your smile. But should this be the way of life? In a word, no. Dental implants from Inspiration Dental, serving residents in and around Riverview, Florida, can restore your smile to its natural beauty and functionality.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a tooth replacement that replaces your tooth from the crown to the roots. This is made possible by three components: an implant post, abutment, and tooth prosthesis. An implant is a titanium screw surgically implanted in your jawbone to replace your natural tooth root. After insertion, the jawbone grows around it, locking it in place to support one or more tooth prostheses.

An abutment or a connector sits on top of the implant and protrudes through the gum. It connects the implant to the tooth prosthesis. Dr. Janis Milne installs an abutment after the implant fuses with the jawbone, although sometimes she can place it during the implant surgery.

The dental implant process is completed by installing a bridge, denture, or crown—the nature of the tooth prosthesis depends on the number of teeth lost. But whatever the option we install, the end result fits and looks natural—no one could ever tell that you lost your teeth to decay or injury.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Bones, like muscles, deteriorate when not put into use. While dentures and bridges can close the gap left by the missing teeth, none can address the issue of bone atrophy. Dental implants spur natural bone growth by stimulating the jawbone when chewing, biting, or grinding. Stopping bone loss is hardly the only benefit of dental implants. Other pros include:

• Stabilize nearby teeth by preventing them from shifting into the space
• Restore your full oral functionality, meaning you can chew, speak, and smile without worrying about your teeth
• They are natural-looking—dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth
• Dental implants don’t alter the way you clean your teeth
• Dental implants maintain your youthful face
• They restore your self-confidence and esteem
• The dental treatment has over 95% success rate

Once Dr. Milne installs the dental implant, you never have to think about that gap again. With proper maintenance, dental implants can last for life! Dental implants are a lifelong investment to feeling good forever.
