Today, we're fortunate enough to haveDental Implants an oral appliance that can both improve your appearance and dental functionality while also lasting a lifetime. Your dentist provides dental implants from  Nashua, NH, office—read below to learn more about the procedure!

More About Dental Implants

These synthetic structures replace missing tooth roots, an important task, as roots stimulate your jawbone, keeping it strong. Without roots, your jawbone weakens, shrinks, and may even collapse, which causes facial sagging and is detrimental to functions like biting and chewing.

Dental implants are used for several procedures. They anchor bridges and dentures, and have four specific components to their structure:

  • Titanium Post
  • Screw
  • Abutment
  • Crown

The titanium post is placed into the jawbone, screws are placed in the post to anchor the abutment, and finally, a crown that matches your other teeth will be placed on top.

Implant Benefits

Due to how dental implants replace missing roots, they offer advantages that other options don't, such as:

  • Causing no changes to your jawbone
  • Creating a stable foundation for your crown
  • Providing a better option for your budget because of their longevity

Dental Implant Candidates

Dental implants mimic natural-looking teeth, but not everyone is a good candidate for dental implants. Good candidates need to have,

  • Proper bone density, although a bone graft can provide a fix if this is an issue
  • A strong immune system
  • Good oral health and
  • A proper dental hygiene regimen

Dental Implant Care

  • Get professional dental cleanings and checkups every six months
  • Use fluoride-containing products like toothpaste and mouthwash to prevent gum disease and tooth decay
  • Brush your teeth twice a day
  • Floss at least once before bed
  • Avoid drinking too much coffee and tea
  • Stop chewing tobacco and smoking
