Millions of people lose their teeth due to tooth decay, accidents, or gum diseases. Tooth decay, accidents, or gum diseases are some common causes of teeth loss. After losing teeth, one would expect to have new teeth to replace the lost ones. While dentures and bridges have been traditional solutions for tooth replacement, dental implants are now a widely used modern alternative.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line to serve as the roots for artificial teeth. These titanium posts provide a stable foundation for artificial teeth, which can be customized to match your natural teeth. These implants offer a very strong base for your new pearly white teeth and are the best choice for having a full set of teeth. There are three main components of dental implants.
Titanium implant: This is a screw-like post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone to anchor the artificial tooth.
Implant Abutment: This connector piece attaches to the titanium implant and supports the crown, acting as a link between the implant and the artificial tooth.
Implant Crown: This is the visible part of the dental implant, resembling a natural tooth, and is placed on top of the abutment.
Benefits of Dental Implants
There are numerous benefits of dental implants which make them preferable to overdentures. Have a look at some of them below;
Improved self-confidence: Missing teeth can impact self-esteem, and dental implants can help restore confidence by improving the appearance of one’s smile.
Enhanced appearance: Dental implants are designed to feel and look like your own teeth. Dental implants, being a permanent solution, can improve the appearance and function of your teeth more effectively than removable dentures. A new set of pearly whites to fill in space in your dental structure will enhance your appearance.
Better eating: Eating can be challenging with gaps in your dental structure, and even more so with dentures that may move during chewing. Dental implants enhance chewing efficiency, enabling you to comfortably eat various foods, but caution is advised with extremely hard or sticky foods. Dental implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but like natural teeth, they can be damaged by trauma or poor oral hygiene.
Improved speech: Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures that slide can hinder speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words and causing slurred speech. Dental implants provide stability that prevents slipping, making it easier and more confident to pronounce words clearly.
Comfort: Dental implants come with a sense of comfort. If you have had dentures in the past, you know that they are not permanent and you have to remove them every now and then. This can be an embarrassing inconvenience each time you need to remove them. Dental implants are fixed in your jaws, similar to natural teeth, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures. In addition to this, you can wake up the same person you were when you went to bed.
Dental Implants Candidates
Dental implants are considered very successful, with a global success rate of about 98%. But this success rate also depends on the candidate’s condition as well as the position in the jaw where the teeth will be implanted. Suitability for dental implants requires meeting criteria such as:
