While bridges and traditional dentures are effective ways to replace teeth, they aren\u2019t always ideal options. For many people, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants in Superior<\/a> are hands-down the best way to regain those lost pearly whites. Are you among the countless individuals who could benefit from this procedure? Let\u2019s talk about what makes a good candidate for dental implants.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>You Are Missing One or More Teeth<\/h2>\n<p>Implants may be perfect for you whether you\u2019re missing just one tooth, several teeth, or an entire row of teeth.<\/p>\n<p>If you just need to have one tooth replaced, the implant process is pretty straightforward. Your oral surgeon will insert a small titanium post into your jaw. As you heal from the surgery, your body will bond with the implant, allowing it to act like a natural tooth root. After a few months, your dentist in Superior will install a beautiful new restoration on top of the implant.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re missing multiple teeth, the process is a bit more complex. Your surgeon will have to decide how to strategically place the implants so your surgery is as conservative as possible while still ensuring that your restored smile will have all the support it needs to thrive.<\/p>\n<h2>You Don\u2019t Want Traditional Dentures<\/h2>\n<p>Many people find that traditional dentures are uncomfortable, don\u2019t fit well, and are a hassle to care for. They may dislike dentures so much that they refuse to wear them.<\/p>\n<p>Implants present a fantastic alternative because they are permanently in your mouth. That makes them extremely sturdy, and you\u2019ll never have to worry about their fit changing as the years pass. Also, they\u2019re so comfortable that, once you get used to them, you may even forget that they\u2019re in your mouth.<\/p>\n<h2>You\u2019re in Fair Health<\/h2>\n<p>Dental implants have a very high success rate, and that\u2019s partly because dentists are diligent about making sure that their patients are healthy enough for their new teeth to thrive. If the following are true of you, there is a strong chance that implants are a fit for you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are free of gum disease.<\/li>\n<li>You do not smoke.<\/li>\n<li>You do not have any health conditions that could slow down the healing process after surgery.<\/li>\n<li>You have a strong, thick jawbone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind, though, that even if you smoke, have a weak jaw, or suffer from certain medical conditions, it\u2019s still worth talking to your dentist about implants. A bone graft or other extra steps may be able to make your implant procedure a resounding success.<\/p>\n<p>So, are dental implants right for you?
