Every year, millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss. Tooth loss can be the result of decay, disease or simply the effect of aging and genetics. The loss of teeth can seriously affect your confidence and self-esteem, so most patients immediately contact their local cosmetic dentistry in Center City Philadelphia following a loose tooth for a permanent and natural solution. For years, the only options that consumer had were to wear dentures or have bridges implanted. However, patients now have a new option for permanently restoring their smiles: dental implants.
Dental implants are replacements tooth roots that are screwed into your jaw. They look like real teeth and are indistinguishable from the rest of your natural teeth. Over time, the implants will fuse with your bone, becoming permanent. And unlike your real teeth, they will never decay.
Many denture wearers find that their dentures quickly become an inconvenient part of their life. First of all, if the dentures are not perfectly fitting to the patient’s mouth, they can cause speech problems that make the patient difficult to understand. Sliding dentures can also cause problems eating, something that can cause patients to feel embarrassed and avoid eating around others. Dental implants are different; because they become a permanent part of your mouth, you’ll never have to worry about them moving around when chewing or feeling out-of-place in your mouth. Dental implants are also overall more hygienic than dentures and do not require shaving of surrounding teeth like dental bridges.
