Dental heath could indicate different things to various individuals. Have a look at just what this post
says.
Unfortunately, a large percentage of people, sooner or later, you will lose one or more teeth for
some reason. If you are missing a few teeth, you cannot eat normally, speak clearly or to laugh
freely.
Do you hide your smile because of the space of lost teeth? Does your denture fall when talking and
embarrass you?
Do you have difficulty chewing food? If you are already experiencing these problems and if you wish
to laugh, eat, and speak normally, there is good news for you - dental implants!
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial structures made of titanium (biocompatible material that "binds" to the
bone in a process called osseointegration), which are incorporated into the jawbone and that in a
sense both in looks and function represent a replacement for the tooth root and the tooth in the
mouth.
Why do we need dental implants?
Losing a tooth, most people would do not consider as a major problem, unless it is one of the front
teeth, which would distort their appearance. However, if the lost tooth (or worse-more teeth) is not
immediately replaced with implants, can lead to the following problems:
Movement of adjacent teeth - teeth because of the empty space that limit starting to tilt (inclined) in
order to fill empty space, a phenomenon known as Godunov phenomenon.
Loss of jawbone - On place with missing tooth, in the jawbone begins its gradual decomposition
process and consequently reduces the amount of dental ridge. In case of multiple teeth, the process
may be more dramatic and the person to get an aged look.
Speaking trouble - The lack of one or more teeth may hinder speech, presence of noise, voice change
and other problems that usually appear when wearing dentures (jaws).
Problems with eating - Frequent problem also is inability to eat certain types of food, which in turn
result in poor nutrition and poor quality of life.

2. End to by many as the most important is that the loss of teeth, especially in the visible region which
strongly affects the layout, appearance, self-esteem, and social life of a man. Nowadays, especially
among young people, the social aspect is not acceptable to see empty spaces between teeth when
talking or laughing. Dental implants not only look but also feel much closer to natural teeth than any
other alternative.
The implementation process
Briefly, the procedure of placing the implants is performed in the operating room, under local
anesthesia, painless and takes about as much time as a tooth extraction. The procedure takes place
in three stages:
1. Implant - setting the primary part of the implant in the bone;
2. Stationary, i.e. bonding with bone (osseointegration) the healing process, which lasts 2-3 months
for the lower jaw and 4-6 months for the upper jaw.);
3. Setting enhancement - abutment upon which prepares the tooth crown.
Of course, very important to the success and functionality of implants is the maintenance of good
oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist (2 times a year).
If properly set up, especially if proper care and good oral hygiene by the patient, as well as regular
checkups, dental implants are lifelong solution for lost teeth!
