How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth replacement. If you have experienced trauma to your mouth, damage from disease, or tooth decay involving the loss or removal of your teeth, dental implants are a way to improve the look of your smile by filling in these gaps. A dental implant involves attaching a titanium screw to your jaw through your gums and then adding a synthetic cap mimicking a real tooth to the top of the screw. In this way, dental implants in Baltimore, MD, aim to seamlessly blend in with your existing teeth, completing your smile and giving you long-lasting results and confidence.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Because dental implants are attached to your jaw and are not removable like dentures, they are able to withstand all your daily activities such as eating, drinking, playing sports, and regular brushing and flossing during oral care. You may even forget you have a dental implant after some time!
In addition to completing the look of your smile, dental implants also help to maintain the structure of your mouth and face by providing support for your teeth, jaws, and cheeks. Without implants, the gaps in your teeth may allow shifting of your remaining teeth or depressions in your cheeks. Having a full set of teeth provides the necessary support for these structures.
