Dental implants are surgically installed to support the structure of a new set of dentures or false teeth. A single dental implant typically consists of an anchor, an abutment, and then the false tooth. Essentially, your dentist will be replacing the entire root of the tooth instead of just the visible portion.

To the naked eye, you won’t even be able to tell the difference between your implant and the real teeth that may surround it.

The titanium anchor will eventually bond to the bone inside your jaw or skull for a more permanent solution to tooth loss. Because the implant allows your artificial teeth to feel more like natural ones, you lose some of the telltale signs of dentures. Your speech and mouth movement will be back to normal in no time at all.

You will also be far more comfortable on a daily basis when it comes to chewing and caring for your teeth. You can avoid applying adhesive on a regular basis in an attempt to simply keep your teeth in your mouth. With a dental implant, you will continue to maintain them the same as you would your other teeth. Brushing twice daily and flossing between your teeth will help to keep your dental implants healthy and pristine.

Overall, it will take far less time and effort to upkeep your dental implants compared to traditional dentures. Improve your self-esteem, your smile, and your oral hygiene all in one fell swoop when you opt to correct tooth loss using dental implants.

Your dentist at Markham Dental Centre can help to advise you on whether you would be an ideal candidate for a dental implant. Patients who desire this course of treatment will need to have healthy gums and bone structure in order to support the implant. The location of your sinuses will also play a role in your eligibility. It’s best to evaluate these concerns in person and talk about further treatment options with an experienced dentist.
