When\nlooking to fill in those gaps in your smile, chances are you\u2019ll hear about\ndental implants a lot, but it can be intimidating to ask about a procedure that\nyou don\u2019t fully understand. When speaking with your dentist about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistrysmilecenter.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants\nin Upper Arlington<\/a>, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant is a medical device that interfaces with\nthe jaw in some way to support prosthetic teeth. There are two major kinds of\nimplants that are used very differently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Endosteal implants, the most common kind, are titanium\nposts inserted into the jawbone to serve as the roots for replacement teeth. They\nprovide chewing power almost equal to real teeth. Endosteal implants can last\nfor years \u2013 potentially a lifetime.<\/li><li>A subperiosteal implant is a metal frame sitting\non top of the jaw topped with prosthetic teeth. They\u2019re usually used in cases\nwhere endosteal implants aren\u2019t available, such as when there has already been\nan irreparable loss of bone height. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A crown is the actual replacement tooth supported by and\nheld in place by an implant. At a glance, people you meet won\u2019t be able to tell\nthe difference between a crown and a real tooth. In cases where multiple teeth\nare missing, an implant-supported bridge may be used; a bridge is simply\nmultiple implants connected to form one piece.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Implant-Retained Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are used when all of the teeth in a jaw are\nmissing. Unlike traditional dentures, dentures that are secured to implants are\nnot prone to slipping. They\u2019re often used on the lower jaw for improved\nstability, but they can be used on the upper jaw as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Osseointegration?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist may use the word \u201cosseointegration\u201d when\ntalking about endosteal implants. This is the process by which the implant\nbecomes fused into the jaw. In addition to giving the replacement tooth\nimproved stability, it allows the implants to provide the jawbone with the\nstimulation from biting and chewing that usually comes from real teeth; this is\nhow endosteal implants help prevent bone loss. Note that subperiosteal implants\nand traditional dentures do not have this benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s something you don\u2019t understand, always ask\nyour dentist; when undergoing major restorative dental treatment, it\u2019s\nimportant that you know precisely what\u2019s going to happen. Keep in mind that\nevery case is unique and different people may need different solutions for\nmissing teeth. If you think implants are right for you, don\u2019t hesitate to ask\nany questions you have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the Artistry Smile Center, Dr. Angela Courtney has an excellent track record of helping patients feel at ease with her gentle touch and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistrysmilecenter.com\/dental-spa.html\">DentalSpa<\/a> treatments.
