If you have missing teeth or large gaps in your teeth, it's easy to feel self-conscious about your smile. In fact, you may not want to smile at all because your teeth make you embarrassed. In the past, the only options to replace missing were temporary, things like dentures and false teeth. But today, thanks to innovations in modern dentistry, this is no longer the case. Tools like dental implants make it possible for people with missing teeth to have a beautiful smile. A dental implant is a special titanium post. This post is surgically implanted into the jawbone of a patient in order to act as an artificial tooth root. Once your dentist assesses the state of your teeth and decides that a dental implant is the solution for you, he or she will perform a surgery to implant this titanium post into your jawbone. But after the surgery, the dentist must wait a period of time before finishing with the procedure. The reason for this is that the titanium post must become fused to the bone during the healing process. This is called osseointegration. Once this happens, the post becomes a permanent part of the bone and will act as a stable support for a crown or bridge. Most non-smoking patients have a 98% success rate with osseointegration. Smoking patients may experience complications but even then there is still a 90% success rate. If you have missing teeth that make you self-conscious about your smile, dental implants may be the solution to help you achieve a smile you can show proudly.
