Dental Implants may be a great option when you need to replace one or more teeth. There are many advantages with implants over earlier methods such as dentures, fixed bridges and other methods. Implants do not have the disadvantages of other methods, Simply put: they are the closest thing to have your natural tooth again. This is because the implant fuses with the bone in your jaw. Implants do not reply on surrounding teeth as other methods do, this avoids the stress surrounding teeth and even slows or prevents the loss of bone because the implant replaced the tooth and root. When bridges are used the jaw bone where the tooth was can contract and shrink.
Another advantage is that an implanted tooth doesn't decay like a natural tooth and with proper care can last many years, even a lifetime. There is no limit on what foods you can eat, no embarrassing slipping like dentures, no reducing real teeth. Watch the video to see how implants surgery is performed. The success rate is 98% and Dr. Cucereanu has conducted implant procedures on hundreds of patients, he is an expert in the procedure.
So if you have a gap in your smile and are considering dental implants make an appointment. The doctor will discuss the procedure, it's benefits and potential risks (for most patients dental implant is considered a low risk procedure), and you can decide if you feel the treatment is right for you. It's not a fast procedure as the implant must fuse with bone so the sooner you start, the sooner you have your smile back in way that's indistinguishable from a real tooth.
