Ever wonder what's happening to your teeth lately? When you have missing teeth, it may throw your bite off the alignment, and your facial shape may change. It could make you feel self-conscious about the way you smile or perhaps the way you talk.
However, if you choose to replace your missing teeth, an implant dentist could recommend artificial teeth attached near your jawbone.
In this blog, you'll learn more about implant dentist procedure and how it works for every patient who undergoes this kind of procedure.
When the tooth is lost because of disease or injury, a patient may have complications like bone loss, changes to chewing, or defective speech. It may result in discomfort. That’s why a dental implant will significantly improve a lost tooth, so the patient’s health and quality of life will improve.
Here are two types of dental implants
Endosteal
It’s the most common type of dental implant, and they usually resemble small screws. They are made from body-safe materials like titanium and are surgically inserted deep into the patient’s jawbone, where the tooth roots occur.
Subperiosteal
It’s an implant used when an insufficient jawbone is available to support the endosteal implant. These implants are inserted under a gum, yet the implants are not drilled into the jawbone. Se the video above for more information.
