Implants :

The goal of modern dentistry is to restore your normal facial contours, functions, comfort, aesthetics, speech, and health. What makes implant dentistry so unique is the ability to reach this goal even in the presence of missing teeth. However, the more teeth are missing, the more challenging the task becomes. As a result of continued research, implant design, materials, and techniques, predictable success is now a reality for the rehabilitation of many challenging clinical situations.

The life expectancy of the population has reached a historic high point, with people living a longer life span. Social pleasures, including dining and dating, continue throughout advanced life. The traditional tooth replacement options include bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures. There are obvious limitations to these treatment alternatives. Tooth loss is directly linked to changes in the facial structures.

The process of bone resorption begins immediately after the tooth is lost and is continuous. Depending on the number of teeth lost, the following consequences related to the bone loss become more evident: decreased facial height, deepening of vertical lines in lip and face, decreased horizontal labial angle of lip – makes people appear unhappy, loss of muscle tone in facial expression, thinning of vermilion border of the lips from loss of muscle tone, deepening of nasolabial groove, increased length of maxillary lip showing less teeth during smiling – ages the smile, ptosis of mentalis muscle attachment – lead’s to “witch’s chin”.

​In this age of dental care, dental implants are considered the most effective way to replace missing teeth in order to restore natural function. Understandably, most people would not fully enjoy life if unable to properly chew or smile without a full set of teeth, and thus would prefer dental implants as a solution for this particular need.
