In some cases teeth can decay and even become so decayed that they fall out; in these kinds of extreme situations, a dental implants dentist will likely recommend an implant. A dental implant is designed to replace the root of the tooth and even provide a natural appearance and functionality of a tooth. These durable teeth replacements not only look real, but they are also comfortable and feel real to the patient, while making speech and even chewing much easier. Ask your dental implants dentist if the procedure is covered by your insurance before making the decision, in some cases, it is not covered.

There are many advantages to getting an implant treatment, the biggest one being that it replaces the tooth in its entirety, which gives you all the same functionality as if you never lost it. If you decide this treatment is best for you, a dental implants dentist will insert the small titanium post into the jawbone, which will then strongly bond to the bone surrounding it and will be able to be used to support your new tooth. Having the tooth root replaced will help to ensure that the surrounding bone remains strong and healthy.

Implants are easy to care for as they should be treated the same as your other teeth; brushed twice a day and flossed one daily. It is also important to see your dental implants dentist for regular checkup appointments to maintain your oral health and dental implants.
