The benefits of having dental implants Navan

You have lost teeth in an injury or from decay. What are your options for replacing them?

You know about dentures and bridges, but have you heard about dental implants Navan? Dental implants restore the life you had before losing your teeth.

If your confidence is suffering because you are losing your teeth or do not trust your faulty set of dentures, visit our practice, Navan Dental for a consultation for dental implants Navan.

Why would I be better off wearing a dental implant over other devices?

Out of all the possible choices, implants have proven to be the most natural-looking. Not only do they look like natural teeth, but they also function like real ones.

Not replacing your missing teeth affects what you eat, how well you chew your food and the way you speak.

Implants provide solutions to the above. You will not be restricted in what you eat with a dental implant and do not have to worry about the device falling out. It has already fused with your jawbone in a biological process called osseointegration, so the only way it can be taken out is by a professional.

At the same time, the implant, which is a small screw made from titanium, will not compromise your surrounding teeth because it is drilled into the jaw underneath your old tooth.

What are the stages of getting a dental implant

If you are declared fit for surgery - i.e. you have enough bone and do not suffer from any gum diseases - our dentist makes an appointment to have the procedure done.

Stage one is the drilling part of the process, where titanium screws are inserted into your jaw bone and left to heal. Healing takes eight to 12 weeks, but the time frame depends on how quickly a person recovers, and the rate at which osseointegration takes place.

Osseointegration is when metal and bone successfully integrate with a biological process where the body sees the metal as tissues, not a foreign object needing to be rejected.

Stage two is the making of your new crown, which will be attached to the metal implant. The crown, usually made from porcelain, will closely resemble your other teeth in colour, shape and height.

Stage three involves connecting the crown to the implant using an abutment and then cementing the piece firmly in place. Once the restoration is complete, it will feel like you have your old tooth back!

What are some of the benefits of having dental implants Navan?

No one will notice the difference between your artificial crown and your surrounding natural teeth with implants.

At the same time, as a result of vital missing teeth, your jaw begins to deteriorate from lack of use, leaving you with a sunken and prematurely aged appearance. Dental implants help to rejuvenate the jaw bone and reverse the years. With an implant securely in place, you do not have to worry about them dislodging at the worst times.
