Losing your teeth is a nightmare. It
affects your everyday life and functionality. Moreover, you slowly start losing
confidence as you have lost that pearly smile. Thankfully today, those who have
lost all of their teeth — or are soon to have their last, failing teeth removed
— have several options for tooth replacement. One of the most advanced and a
reliable technique is to permanently attach life-like prosthetic (new
replacement) teeth to dental implants that are anchored in the jawbone. Permanent
tooth replacement with implants has revolutionized dentistry.
Implant-supported teeth look and function
just like real teeth, and are maintained with the same oral hygiene practices,
such as brushing and flossing. They provide important health benefits and while
dental implants are relatively expensive, a newer procedure that also provides a
functional tooth on the same day implant surgery is performed, has brought
reduced the cost and put this beneficial technology within the reach of many.
Believe it or not you can get yourself a new set of teeth in a day! Here are a few facts that will
help you consider this treatment.

Better alternative to dentures
Implants have particularly
transformed the lives of people who are edentulous (completely toothless) by
giving them a solution that is a lot more comfortable, secure, and reliable
than removable dentures. They also prevent the loss of jawbone density and
volume that is inevitable when teeth are lost. Dental implants stabilize and
stimulate the bone around them, maintaining bone dimension and strength. This
is something removable dentures can't do. In fact, wearing dentures actually
accelerates bone loss.
¾
Cost-effective treatment
This process is not only
the most efficient way to replace all the teeth, but also the most
cost-effective strategy for implant-supported tooth replacement. Individual
implants to replace each tooth are impractical and not recommended. Given that
there are usually 28 functional teeth (excluding wisdom teeth), replacing teeth
individually can be a lot more expensive and may not offer any better results.
¾
Not heavily dependent on bone
quality
Improvements in implants now
permit people who previously couldn't have implant dentistry, because of poor
bones (quality or quantity) or the expenses involved, to get treatment.
Similarly, since implant and restorative dentistry have improved so much, we
can now use fewer implants to replace teeth compared to recommendations made
only a few years ago.
Fortunately, as a result of continued
research, development of diagnostic tools and innovative treatment, predictable
success is now a reality in many challenging dental situations. At Dentzz Dental, you have a
well-coordinated team of highly trained dental
professionals: an implant surgeon (oral surgeon, periodontist or general
dentist with appropriate training), a restorative dentist (general dentist or
prosthodontist) and a laboratory technician. Just like any other major event in
your life like a wedding, a lot of planning and coordination is necessary to ensure
that the procedure is a success. If you want teeth in a day, visit us, atDentzz Dental for a smooth procedure and fabulous results.
