Let us talk about dental implants today. Lot of people have missing teeth, they lose their teeth by accidents or by some disease and they’re in dilemma, how to replace that tooth? Today we have lot of choices available. One of them being dental implants. Dental implants is nothing but a artificial root structure which is placed inside the bone and on top of that, a cap is placed to replace your missing tooth. You can basically judge it buy this wherein you have a artificial root structure placed inside the bone here and on top of that, a superstructure is there on which a cap is fixed. Replacing the missing tooth. A implant is placed inside the bone by a small procedure which is basically painless and has minimum of side effects. Implants can be used for a variety of reasons or maybe clinical situation, you end up losing one tooth you can replace with the implant. You end up losing multiple teeth, you can place multiple implants. You can use implants to support your dentures which are very loose, you can end up fixing the entire tooth structure. Maybe you end up losing all your teeth, all your teeth are missing, someone tells you go for dentures, you’re not happy with your dentures, you can go for implants and get fixed teeth. There are no side effects; they work for a long time. In fact American studies say the success of dental implants is more than 95%. In today’s time moving out without teeth when science has come to this level when you can get artificial teeth as good as your natural teeth, should be a big no.
