Anyone who feels self-conscious about his or her smile can benefit from talking to his or her dentist about options that will not only improve the appearance of his or her smile but also deliver a multitude of health benefits as well. Dental implants are growing in popularity due to dentists and their patients becoming more and more familiar with all of their benefits. These implants are positioned surgically into the jawbone and will allow your dentist to mount custom-crafted teeth on them to fill any gaps and correct your smile.
Benefits of Implants
In addition to cosmetic benefits and improving a person’s self-esteem, dental implants in Waikoloa have a number of health benefits. When a person gets implants, it will actually keep his or her teeth from sliding in his or her mouth and filling the gap left behind by missing teeth. In addition, dental implants make it a lot easier for patients to eat and drink. Not having to deal with the frustration and pain of removable dentures makes these implants a lot more inviting.
Types of Implants
There are two kinds of dental implants that are deemed to be safe. One is subperiosteal implants where a metal frame is fitted on the jawbone below the gum, and then posts are attached to the frame. The other type is endosteal implants that are planted directly into the jawbone. Both kinds of implants will have teeth attached to them. Both kinds of implants require healing before the artificial teeth can be attached and both will have teeth that are custom-made to fit your mouth and match your other teeth.
