What dental implants are and how are they different from dental prostheses?

Dental implants ate titanium structures designed to replace the root of a tooth root and act as a solid base to place an artificial dental crown. This allows the implant to work and look as a natural tooth. Implants are permanent and completely integrate with the jaw bone, which provides a lasting solution for a dental loss.

On the other hand, dental prostheses are removable devices that replace one or several lost teeth. Even they are also effective, dental prostheses do not integrate with the bone and need periodic care and adjustments.

Types of dental implants and their uses 

There are several types of dental implants which adapt to different needs. Some of them are:

1. Endosseous implants: These are the most common and are placed directly on the jaw bone. They are used to replace one tooth or several teeth by placing dental bridges.
2. Zygomatic implants: These are used when the jaw bone is not enough for endosseous implants. These implants are placed in the zygomatic bone and provide a viable solution for those with meaningful bone loss.
3. Subperiosteal implant: These are least common and are placed in the upper part of the jaw bone, under the gums. They are used when the bone is to narrow or nor deep enough for the endosseous implants.

When should you consider a dental implant?

It is important to consider a dental implant in the following cases:

1. Lost teeth: If you have lost one or several teeth due to cavities, injuries caused by trauma, or periodontal diseases, dental implants are a recommended option to replace them and restore the chewing function and your aesthetic smile.
2. Discomfort with dental prostheses: If you use removable dental prostheses and feel uncomfortable or insecure while talking or eating, consider a dental implant to obtain a more permanent and comfortable solution.
3. Improve your appearance: If you are worried about your smile appearance due to teeth loss, dental implants may help you to regain the confidence in your image.

Dental implants care and maintenance

Dental implants require special care to guarantee their longevity and proper functioning. These are some important guidelines you should follow:

1. Good oral hygiene: Brush your dental implants and natural teeth three times a day with fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss to clean the spaces between them.
2. Regular dentist visits: Schedule periodic dental exams so that the specialist may evaluate your teeth condition and detect any problem on time.
3. Avoid harming habits: Avoid biting hard objects or chewing ice because this may harm your implants. We also recommend avoiding tobacco and reducing alcohol consumption to improve your general oral health.
