Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer people of all ages, genders and lifestyles a comprehensive and long-term solution to one or more missing teeth. We would like to think of our adult teeth as a permanent anatomical feature, however, in spite of their strength and resilience, teeth can and do go missing due to a plethora of reasons. This might include accidental trauma, tooth decay, dental caries, gum disease, a failed root canal treatment, certain medications and chronic illness, such as cancer or diabetes. Even your genetic heritage can dictate your risk of losing teeth to oral infection and disease! Whatever the cause behind single or multiple missing teeth and even complete edentulism (not having any of your original adult teeth left), dental implants are one of the best solutions modern dentistry has available.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants have many wonderful benefits and advantages that outweigh all other traditional tooth replacement techniques. With dental implants you can:
Get Your Smile Back:
It only takes one missing tooth to leave your smile noticeably ‘gappy’, which in turn negatively affects your confidence and self-esteem. This not only propagates itself in the social arena, but in the professional workplace too! Dental Implants are carefully fabricated to be virtually indistinguishable from the teeth they are replacing (that is, before they became irreparably damaged or decayed!). Subsequent to their placement, patients often feel like they never lost a tooth or several teeth in the first place.
Eat and Speak Normally
Your ability to chew and articulate properly in speech can become severely compromised by single or multiple missing teeth. Because dental implants gain all the support they need from the underlying jaw bone, they are able to function like natural healthy teeth. Thus, they completely restore bite functionality, enabling you to eat all the foods you previously loved but couldn’t enjoy with missing teeth.
Enjoy the Benefits of Great Long-lasting Oral Health
Dental Implants are capable of replacing single or multiple missing teeth without affecting or damaging the adjacent teeth: Traditional tooth replacement techniques such as dental bridges require the teeth on either side of the empty space to be prepared or ‘shaved down’ in order to support artificial crowns. Attached to these are other artificial teeth, filling the gap, making it look as if there is still a tooth in place. One downside of this traditional technique is that often two healthy teeth are ‘sacrificed’ to support the dental bridge. Furthermore, without a tooth root transmitting forces to the underlying jaw bone, it begins to atrophy, or shrink away. Dental Implants on the other hand should not in any way damage the adjacent healthy teeth. They also replace the important source of stimulation that the tooth root is meant to supply to the jaw bone, thus maintaining a healthy bone volume in the region. In the long term, this prevents the bone tissue from atrophying and shrinking away, thus preventing that aged and sunken appearance about the mouth that is typically associated with tooth loss and the denture-wearing elderly.
Enjoy Ultimate Oral Comfort
Other traditional teeth replacement solutions, such as removable partial and full dentures (or false teeth) rely on the underlying gums and atrophied ridge for support. The pressure they apply to the delicate soft tissues of the gums can cause irritation, inflammation and the development of sores that are not given the chance to heal. This incurs the need for repeated expenses such as anesthetic gels just to keep pain and discomfort at bay. Because dental implants are placed in the jaw, they function and feel like natural healthy teeth. No one wants to be constantly aware of the fact that they’ve had teeth replaced and dental implants can achieve this like no other traditional technique.
Have an Entire Mouth of Missing Teeth Replaced
Dental Implants can be used to support prosthetic dental bridges, which provide patients suffering from rampant tooth loss and edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth left) with a fixed or permanent (non-removable) solution. The revolutionary technique used to by MALO Dental Implants to achieve this is known as the “All-on-4™”, and it enjoys fantastic success in restoring same day smiles using the techniques and lab components of the innovators, world renowned MALO CLINIC.
Get a Life Long Solution to Single and Multiple Missing Teeth
Dental implants are capable of providing patients with a comprehensive solution to missing or failing teeth for decades. If looked after properly and with regular visits to the MALO Dental Implants or your general dentist for check-ups, patients are often able to maintain their dental implants for a lifetime!
