A dental implant is a safe way to have teeth replaced permanently giving you options beyond traditional partials, bridges, or dentures. The implants offered at Austin Dental Center are natural looking, safe, and affordable. There are many reasons to look into dental implant treatment such as an injury causing a lost tooth, decay leading to loss of teeth, or gum disease also leading to tooth loss or extraction. These implants are growing in popularity as they require no special care and can be brushed and flossed the same as natural teeth. When dentures or partials don’t feel like a comfortable option discuss the possibility of dental implants for a long-lasting solution.
What About Dentures?
Dentures have long been the treatment for loss of teeth or extraction due to decay and gum disease. However, dentures for some can prove quite cumbersome as they require expensive cleaners and adhesives. Dentures cannot prevent the bone loss that may occur when teeth are no longer in place in the gums. When the structure of the mouth begins to change dentures will need to be fitted again and possible remade to stay securely in your mouth. Ill fitting dentures can cause a host of other problems including thrush which is an oral yeast infection. The plus side of dental implants is that they are screwed into the gums with titanium fittings. They are secure and hold the same place as the now missing natural tooth. The implants will stop any bone loss that occurs in the jaw once teeth have been removed. Dental implants can be cared for by brushing and flossing on a regular basis just like your natural teeth.
