Dental implants are a method highly appreciated by many experts today.
Not only does it help restore the aesthetics of the teeth, but it also has the ability to ensure the chewing function of the teeth.
What is dental implant?
Dental Implant (or Implant placement) is an effective solution to restore the tooth body and root, helping to prevent jaw bone loss that other dental implant techniques cannot overcome. Dental Implant is the most comprehensive and complete dental implant solution today, applicable to all cases of tooth loss from 1 tooth, 2 teeth, many teeth or the entire jaw.
Dental Implant structure consists of 3 parts:
- Implant: made from pure Titanium, acts as a real tooth root
- Porcelain crown: is a false tooth cap made from many different porcelain materials, has a hollow core, is crafted in the shape and color of a real tooth, used to replace the body of a lost tooth.
- Abutment: is the bridge between the porcelain tooth and the Titanium post.
Consequences of long-term tooth loss
-
Reduced digestive function
When teeth are lost, the ability to tear and crush food will decrease, causing the digestive system to work harder. Over time, this will seriously affect the digestive system, nutrients will not be absorbed well, leading to the risk of digestive diseases.
-
Premature facial aging
From the third month onwards, jaw bone loss begins to appear at the location of the missing tooth because there is no longer chewing force to stimulate the jaw bone. At this time, the cheeks will gradually become sunken, the skin around the mouth will also begin to sag. This leads to facial aging, making the face look older than its actual age.
-
Temporomandibular joint pain
Tooth loss prevents the patient from chewing at the position of the missing tooth, leading to chewing on one side. If this condition persists, it will negatively affect the temporomandibular joint.
-
Misalignment of adjacent teeth
The appearance of a gap in the jaw will cause the adjacent teeth to be at risk of shifting under the impact of daily chewing force. The longer the misalignment is left, the more serious it will become and can lead to the worst result of losing 2 adjacent teeth.
-
Unclear pronunciation
People who lose teeth will have difficulty communicating, sometimes find it difficult to pronounce words clearly, and are prone to lisping.
Why should we get dental implants?
Compared to traditional methods, dental implants are considered to have outstanding advantages. That is the reason why this dental implant method is being favored by many customers:
a) High aesthetics, as beautiful as real teeth:
Teeth grown by Implant method have natural color, look like real teeth in both shine and whiteness. Customers can comfortably eat and drink normally without any problems.
b) Painless, minimally invasive and safe:
The entire dental implant procedure at Westway International Dental Institute always ensures the sterile requirements of the Ministry of Health. Combined with a high-tech machinery system, the diagnosis process is quick and accurate. Minimizing invasion and implementation time.
After being planted/implanted on the jawbone, the implant will exist independently on the jaw like a real tooth. It will not affect other teeth or the structure of adjacent teeth.
c) Limit and prevent jaw bone loss:
This is a great method to help prevent jawbone loss (the cause of gum recession, jaw atrophy, causing sunken cheeks, reducing aesthetics). Not only does it solve the aesthetic problem, it also helps improve chewing function, ensuring health.
d) Long life, good load-bearing capacity:
With the tooth root material being super durable Titanium, it has the ability to integrate well with the alveolar bone and gums. This material can completely resist oxidation, helping the integration process to take place faster. If well cared for, dental implants can be used for an extremely long time thanks to their compatibility and high durability.
Dental implants are not only highly compatible but also incredibly durable, and can be used for a long time during normal chewing. If done properly and the patient maintains good hygiene, this is almost a lifelong solution.
