A Dental Implant is a small, but extremely tough, titanium alloy screw which is used during surgically replacing missing or damaged natural teeth.  It’s drilled into the jawbone so that the screw can strongly attach the artificial teeth or any other dental prosthesis to the jaw. Besides its use in replacing broken or missing teeth, dental implants can also be used to give support to loose and removable dentures.

 Now that you understood what a dental implant is, let’s take a glance at why replacing damaged or lost teeth are essential in the first place.

The balance in your dental structure is disturbed as soon as a tooth is lost. Thus created gap will allow the remaining teeth that are nearest to the gap, to lean and shift as a consequence of even the most normal regular chewing. This may lead to oral problems down the line. If the distorted structure of the teeth hinders with the patient’s chewing abilities, further oral issues occur. It is not surprising to see someone lose multiple teeth over the years as a consequence of this.

For those who have all their teeth, it may sound superficial but even a single missing tooth can put much emotional stress on us. In differing degrees, we are all somewhat worried about our appearance, and it affects our confidence as well.

To miss a perfect smile due to a missing tooth or two may cause distress and loss of confidence, which in turn might affect your personal and work life. It has been observed that dental implants are usually effective in boosting the patient’s spirit & overall confidence. Because there is no externally noticeable difference between a replaced tooth & a natural one after the procedure, it will affect physical appearance positively.

If you’ve all your teeth intact, then you probably do not have any idea how it feels when a hard bit of food comes in-between the roots of the missing teeth and existing ones. It isn’t a very pleasant experience, especially if that keeps happening almost every time you try to eat. Often we see people giving up on meat and other previously enjoyed food sources to relieve themselves from the endless pain and discomfort. In a way, when you lose your ability to chew food properly, it can potentially stop you from relishing a big part of your life.
