Benefits of Dental implants

Dental implant benefits


  • High success rate – One of the biggest reasons behind the popularity of dental implants is their extremely high success rate. Not only are dental implants a long-term tooth replacement solution, they are also successful in over 90% of cases. Prior to any dental implant procedure, a qualified implant dentist will need to assess your medical history and oral health to ensure you are an eligible implant candidate.
  • Natural appearance – A huge advantage of dental implants is their natural appearance. Dental implants are designed to look, feel and behave like your own teeth. Since the implant itself fuses with the bone much like your natural tooth root, patients can eat, speak and smile without the reservations that can accompany removable dentures. Many patients can barely tell the difference between their natural teeth and new teeth implants, leading to increased self-esteem and a more confident smile.
  • Supports bone growth – When teeth are missing, the jaw bone can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation, causing dissolution of the bone and facial structure. Since dental implants are designed to replace and mimic the tooth’s natural root, they can provide the stimulation needed for natural bone growth, hence preserving the natural jaw and facial structure.
  • Aesthetically pleasing – If you’re seeking an aesthetically-pleasing tooth replacement option, teeth implants give you (or rather your dental implant dentist) control over the width, length and general appearance of the replacement tooth to ensure your new teeth implants better align with your aesthetic vision.
  • Durability – Providing you care for your teeth implants effectively, dental implants can present a long-lasting tooth replacement solution. Whilst elements of the implants such as the crown may need replacing periodically, your teeth implants could last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
  • Better protection for surrounding teeth – Unlike other tooth replacement options such as tooth-supported bridges, dental implants don’t require the reduction of surrounding teeth to support the new implant structure. Whilst partial dentures can add pressure to the surrounding teeth and cause damage to gum tissue, dental implants can help preserve the natural teeth and gums by independently supporting the new replacement tooth. As with natural teeth, however, implants still require excellent maintenance and oral care through regular brushing, flossing and dental visits.Contact MS Dental Kovalam

ROOT CANAL THERAPY

MS DENTAL KOVALAM Root canal therapy – when a filling isn’t enough When it comes to general dentistry, few procedures get more complex and technically demanding that   root canal therapy   (endodontic treatment). It is no wonder that patients are sometimes overwhelmed by the information overload they are given at each appointment.

How Often Do You Need a Teeth Cleaning?

How Often Do You Need a Teeth Cleaning? Most people (and most dentists) are misinformed as to how many times during the year they should get their teeth cleaned. Almost no one, except periodontists and some better-educated dentists know what the basis for setting the timing of cleanings. The truth is that 80% of the population either has or is going to get periodontal disease, which is a disease of the gums and bone that leads to gum recession and bone loss. Periodontal disease is known to cause heart disease, stroke, rheumatoid arthritis and premature birth and diabetes, among other illnesses. WHEN TO GET PROFESSIONAL TEETH  CLEANING So how often should the average citizen get their teeth cleaned and why? Long-term studies show that for patients who are treated for periodontal disease will maintain their health best if they had their teeth cleaned every 12 weeks. Most practices for most patients will push that out to 14 weeks because we don’t follow a lunar cal...
