An implant is a small titanium rod that is placed in the jawbone under the gums. Once this rod is placed, it allows your dentist to mount a false tooth onto it. In order to receive implants, you must have healthy gums to support it. You also must have enough bone to support the implant. There are different types of implants and, depending on your situation, your dentist will help you choose the right type for you.
1. They last
With proper care, they can last decades. This will save you both time and money. Dental Implants are made of titanium which helps prevent them from regular dental decay.
2. Convenience
It is a lot easier to eat when you aren’t missing a tooth. Having all of your teeth will make it more convenient to chew and swallow when eating.
3. Confidence
Having a missing tooth can often make you feel insecure. Implants give you the confidence to let your smile shine.
4. Improved Speech
Sometimes a missing tooth can make it hard to speak. Getting these to fill the empty spot can improve any related speech issues.
This treatment can often qualify for insurance coverage, but it differs from person to person and plan to plan. Patient needs, insurance plans, and other factors go into whether or not insurance will cover the procedure. These options can and should be discussed before committing to any procedures.
