Helping Seniors Restore Their Teeth with Implants

One of the unavoidable consequences of becoming a senior is to lose teeth gradually, which primarily affects digestion. As a result, the overall health of an elderly degenerates, and they’ll have to restore their lost teeth to regain their health. Fortunately, there’s an efficient solution to this problem: dentures.

There are two types of dentures—removable and permanent. While removable dentures offer an immediate solution to tooth loss, it does pose several issues. Besides the need to be regularly removed and cleaned, dentures have a tendency to pop out and that can lead to embarrassing situations. These issues can be fixed by permanent dental implants.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed directly into the jaw. Made of titanium, they are intended to meld with the jaw bone to ensure stability. Once fully integrated into the bone, a replacement tooth is then placed over the titanium root and either held in place by a screw or dental cement.

The great thing about dental implants is that they look like real teeth. Indeed, no one will notice that you’re walking around with dental implants. They don’t slip or cause discomfort while eating, giving you a chance to enjoy all your favorite foods again. They also last a lot longer than the average dentures, so you can be assured years of smiling with your perfect set of teeth.
