Did you know that dental implants are conservative?
Dental implants have become an increasingly popular option for tooth replacement in recent years.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth with a permanent solution that is meant to last a lifetime.
One of the reasons why dental implants are considered more conservative is because they do not rely on adjacent teeth for support. Traditional bridges require the removal of some of the enamel from the teeth on either side of the gap, which can weaken those teeth over time. Implants, on the other hand, are anchored directly into the jawbone, which means they do not require any support from surrounding teeth. This means that the adjacent teeth can be preserved.
Another reason why dental implants are more conservative is that they are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth. Dental implants consist of three parts: the implant itself, which is a small post that is inserted into the jawbone, an abutment, which is used to attach the implant to the replacement tooth, and the replacement tooth itself. Our replacement tooth are made from porcelain which is designed to look and function just like a natural tooth.
In addition to being more conservative than other forms of tooth replacement, dental implants offer a number of other benefits as well. Implants are extremely durable and can last for many years with proper care. They also require very little maintenance, other than regular brushing and flossing. Dental implants can also help to prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when a tooth is missing, and can improve the overall appearance of the smile.
In conclusion, dental implants are considered more conservative than traditional forms of tooth replacement because they do not rely on adjacent teeth for support and are designed to mimic the structure of natural teeth.
