Dental Implants in Madison AL

Dental implants have features that are preferable to dentures in many ways. Many dental patients decide to get implants instead of dentures because of these benefits. The success rate of dental implants is as high as 98 percent, and they can last for the rest of the patient’s life if they are cared for properly.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants function as replacement teeth. The dental implant serves as a foundation for the actual teeth, which are attached to the surface. They are stronger than dentures, and they allow users to eat and speak comfortably. Implants are designed to become a permanent fixture in the mouth, because of this feature and the operation is performed by a top-rated dentist in Madison AL, Dr. Laurentis Barnett.

Who Benefits from Implants?

Some people are born with a condition that may cause tooth loss, and others develop these conditions over time. Implants are also a viable option for adolescents who are missing their permanent teeth from injuries or other causes.

  • Gum disease

  • Worn-out bridges

How Dental Implants Improve Patient Health

Dental implants were developed to help people suffering from a variety of conditions including missing teeth from periodontal disease or other causes. The implants stabilize the temporomandibular joint, and they make it easier to enjoy a normal life. They can serve both cosmetic and practical functions.

On the practical side, they can provide the following benefits:

  • Restore the natural smile with a permanent solution.
  • These teeth are strong enough to chew normal foods, and they reduce speech problems caused by missing teeth.
  • They can increase the daily comfort level by eliminating the need to remove and wash dentures.
  • They make it easier to eat confidently, and this can allow you to enjoy your favorite foods again.
  • They are more comfortable and secure in your mouth.

On the cosmetic side, they can do the following:

  • Improve the smile and increase self-esteem.
  • They are fixtures in the mouth, and they stay in place for the life of the implant.
  • With proper care, these can serve as normal teeth for the rest of your life.
  • They brighten your smile and allow you to speak comfortably with confidence.

When the jaw and face lose support from the original teeth, the supporting facial structures can become imbalanced. The pressures from ordinary chewing and speaking can cause secondary problems in the face. If left untreated, missing teeth can cause a malocclusion, which may also contribute to TMJ, for example.

Anyone who has a missing permanent tooth can benefit because the implant restores stability to the face. These replacement teeth are designed to look like the patient’s original teeth.
