What Are Dental Implants and Why You Might Need Them
Posted on 7/1/2024 by Martin Periodontics
Photo of dental implants from Martin Periodontics in Mason, OHIf you are missing teeth, you may be considering dental implants as an option to replace them. Dental implants are a popular choice for tooth replacement because they look and feel like natural teeth. Read on to know more about this dental treatment.

What Are Dental Implants?


An implant is a type of surgical procedure that replaces a tooth by implanting a metal post into the jawbone. The post serves as a new "root" for the tooth, and a replacement tooth (crown) is then attached to the post. There are two common dental implant types: endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal ones are the most common type of implant and are placed directly into the jawbone. On the other hand, Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but on or above the jawbone. Your dentist will help you decide which type of implant is right for you based on your individual needs.

Benefits of Implants


Dental implants offer various benefits over other methods of tooth replacement. First, they are permanent and do not need to be replaced like bridges and dentures. Also, implants look and feel like natural teeth, so you can eat and drink whatever you want without worrying about your teeth shifting or moving. Finally, dental implants can help preserve your surrounding teeth's health by preventing them from shifting out of place.

Why You Might Need Dental Implants?


There are plenty of reasons why you might need dental implants. The most common reason is tooth loss due to decay, trauma, or disease. Another reason for needing dental implants is to support a denture or bridge. If you have a denture or bridge, dental implants can help to keep them in place and prevent them from shifting or moving. Additionally, if you have a very small jawbone, dental implants can help to give you more support for your teeth.

If you are considering dental implants, consult with our dentist to see if they are the right choice.
