Dental implants and tooth
replacement
Dental implants are a modern and permanent solution to deal with tooth
replacement. Complete tooth loss is not as prominent as it has been for
previous generations. In fact, in the early 20th century, complete
tooth loss was an expected destiny for old age. This made dentures the most
prominent (and only) solution for dental patients to give their appearance and
lifestyle reasonable function.
Dentures and tooth replacement
Dentures are the commonly accepted method of replacing teeth because
they can be produced quickly and inexpensively, and this is the biggest advantage
for patients who have lost teeth. Unfortunately, when missing teeth are no
longer anchored into the jaw bone, the gums and jaw bone shrink away, changing shape,
and creating a new challenge for individuals with dentures. The fit of the
denture constantly changes, leading to frustration and discomforting pain.
