Advancement in dental technology has given hope to people who have severe dental problems. Dental implants are a best alternative to natural teeth. They can go a long way to restore your self-confidence.
Essentially, an implant is a titanium screw which is planted into the jaw bone to replace the root of a lost natural tooth. The implant fuses with the jawline to form a secure foundation to replace a tooth. The result being teeth that look, feel and function just like natural ones.
  

Not having your natural teeth may put you in an awkward position. You may not be able to smile confidently; you may not be able to sink your teeth into an apple and enjoy it; you may not be able to relish your favourite dish in a restaurant. If your activities involve public speaking, you may not be able to do so without feeling self-conscious about. In short, without your natural teeth you may find that there are many things you miss.

Whether this is a recent problem or something you have lived with for a long time now; whether you have lost one tooth or several. The truth is you have never fully adapted to losing such an important part of yourself.

If you fall into any of the above-mentioned situation, it is time to do something about it. Modern dentistry has made tremendous advance. You can put all these problems behind and look forward to live in comfort and with confidence.

If you are the one who is looking for a Dental Implants with specialised implant dentist and Dental Implants Technology at International Dental Rehabilitation Clinic, you can have replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Teeth that are comfortable and stay in place allowing you to speak, smile and eat with confidence. These are replacements that can be inserted without affecting any of your remaining teeth.

Naturally, the effects of tooth loss vary from person to person and depend on what have been lost. Losing a crown means losing the visible part of your tooth and this may affect your confidence.  However, if you lose the root as well, you have lost the unseen part of your tooth and although this may not affect you aesthetically, it is undoubtedly the most important part of the tooth.

The root anchors the tooth to your jawbone, acting as a foundation for the crown. Without the root, the bone around the missing tooth will gradually recede causing the remaining teeth to shift. If this is allowed to continue chewing will become more and more difficult.

For those who have lost all their teeth in an upper or lower jaw, the long-term problems are even greater. The bone shrinks after tooth loss. This causes the nerves to become exposed and the dentures will lack support. Loose fitting dentures can cause further problems and lead to sore gum tissue and additional pain.

A dental implant is made of titanium and shaped like a screw. The dental implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once the dental implant is in place, several different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or dentures, can be attached.

There are several situations where dental implants may be considered.

(1) Dental Implant replacement of a single tooth.

(2) Dental Implant replacement of several teeth.

(3) Dental Implant replacement of ful upper or lower jaw.

When do I need dental implants?
In the following instances, dental implants can help:

• If you are missing a tooth, or teeth you could be an ideal candidate for implants, especially if your smile reveals missing teeth!
• If you are uncomfortable with the way your dentures fit. Loose dentures can cause sore gums because of friction or food trapped under the bridgework.
• Loose teeth from gum disease may need support.
• Dental implants can give you a new base to support new teeth to function and feel like natural teeth.

When are dental implants more advisable?
Dental implants are advisable in visible frontal areas or where a missing tooth could be replaced with a supporting tooth required for a bridge.

• Replacement of a single tooth.
• Replacement of multiple teeth.
• Replacement of the entire dental arch, both upper and lower.

When your dentures loose and your gums sore:
Without teeth, the jawbone looses mass over time. Without a solid base, loose dentures have a tendency to irritate the gums, causing pain and sores while at the same time trapping food under the denture.

• Implants combined with clips or attachments allow dentures to fit tight.
• While refitting or replacing your dentures may work for a short while, it is not a long-term solution.
