They can move during the day, irritate your gums, and make it harder to taste food. However, people have stuck with them because they are afraid of letting people know that they are missing teeth. However, there are now more effective and aesthetically pleasing ways to replace them. Dental implants are a relatively new piece of technology that can allow you to restore your smile to the way it once was without having to deal with the struggles that come with removable dentures. In this article, you\u2019ll learn what a dental implant is and what makes you a good candidate for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is A Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyhowarddds.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental\nimplant<\/a> is a metal screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once it\nis inserted into your jawbone, a crown can be placed on top of it. They are\nexceptionally strong and do not need to be removed daily to clean. They allow\nyou to chew and function just as you did before you lost your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Get A Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some conditions that can prevent you from receiving\na dental implant. In order for one to work, healthy bone needs to be present beneath\nthe area where your missing tooth was. This bone actually bonds to the implant\nand holds it in place. Without it, your implant will fail. Your gums also need\nto be healthy as well. Individuals who are suffering from advanced gum disease cannot\nhave an implant because the disease destroys the necessary bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re lacking good bone under the implant site, your dentist may be able to use a procedure known as a bone graft to assist you. This often involves the placement of donor bone material inside your jaw. Your body then uses it to grow its own new bone tissue around it. If you are suffering from periodontal disease, your dentist can use specialized tools and procedures to remove the infection from beneath your gum line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Dental Implants Improve My Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants can do more than replace missing teeth. They can also improve the stability of your dentures. Your dentist can place small implants on your gums that your denture can snap onto. This prevents it from moving around when you\u2019re eating or speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have given thousands of people the ability\nto be confident in their smiles. If you\u2019d like to use them to replace missing\nteeth or improve your dentures, ask your dentist about whether or not you might\nbe a good candidate for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nelson Howard is a member of the American Academy of\nImplant Dentistry.
