The primary cause for dentures becoming loose or unfit after sometime is their inability to provide stimulation that helps in the proper functioning and regeneration of jawbone. 

Yet recent, but dental implants have been proven more effective in restoring function, appearance, and preventing bone loss. So, if you are unknown to dental implant treatment or you are just sceptical about the process and planning to undergo the procedure, here’s what you need to know about dental implants. 

WHAT IS BONE LOSS?

Just like any other tissue of the body, the old bone cells die and get absorbed in the body. The process is known as resorption. Usually, the older cells get replaced with new and healthier cells. While chewing food, a force is generated which then travels through the teeth and encourages the growth of new teeth. 

However, the stimulus ends when we lose our teeth ending in bone loss. Most of the dental experts believe that 25% of the jaw bone is lost within one year of tooth loss. As the jaw bone atrophies especially in the case of where the person has more than one tooth loss, the structure of the face starts changing. This loss of bone due to loss of teeth must be addressed as soon as it is observed to prevent further irreparable damage.

HOW DOES A DENTAL IMPLANT WORK?

Dental implants are often considered a fascinating invention of medical science.  The process of dental implantation starts with creating a 3D image of your mouth using a mould and then a real replicate implant made out of titanium is fitted into your mouth wherever there is a tooth loss.

The entire process takes a period of 3 to 9 months depending on how quickly the crafted titanium fuses with the bone. Unlike many other dental procedures where the filling is carried out quite often, dental implants are permanent. Also, they bring several benefits along with them like you need to worry that they will get loose or pop out while you munch something or talk.

 They are very natural and exert the same amount of force like your natural teeth while eating against your jawbone keeping them healthy to function properly.
