Dental implants are the most recommended cosmetic option today by Chicago cosmetic dentists when replacing a tooth (or teeth). Implants are titanium cylinders that are inserted into the mouth, replacing the missing tooth root, allowing us to subsequently put an artificial tooth or crown with the same shape and natural color of the actual tooth in its place. This cylinder that replaces the root is very strongly and it is attached to the mouth, fusing with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Not only is the natural bite and your oral health recovered, but aesthetically the shape and appearance of the mouth is recovered as well.
I’m missing a tooth … Why not get dental implants and a bridge or other treatments?
To put a bridge there deforms the teeth adjacent to the space left by the missing tooth. This is done so that the bridge is fixed in these teeth. This is the main reason dentists always recommend that implants are done ahead of the bridges or other treatments. Implants are less aggressive than most other procedures, like bridges, etc. A dental implant is a single piece and it allows dentists to treat that piece alone. In addition, cleaning the implant is much easier than a bridge, as bridges are always inaccessible to the toothbrush.
How much do dental implants?
The cost of fixed teeth varies on the material used in the manufacturing and quality of the titanium implant and implant prosthodontics. Dentists can also place the implant and crown in the same day, especially with immediate loaded implants. The time at the dentist is reduced to a single session and the patient only needs to visit the dentist to track progress.
How do I go about getting dental implants?
The first thing you should do is call your dentist and ask for a consultation. For example, in most dental clinics this visit is free and is used to make a determination of your needs, both clinically and radiologically. Following this study, the dentist will know what dental treatment is the most appropriate. In the case of implants, they will know if you meets all requirements in order to undergo the procedure.
