Many patients choose implants to replace a single tooth, several tooth, or to support a full set of dentures. Implants are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they fuse with the jawbone and act as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Dentures, bridges or single teeth mounted to the implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth-a very important benefits when eating and speaking. Implants are also a good value, because they can last a lifetime with good care. If you are in good general health, with a jawbone that can support an implant, this treatment may be an option for you. However, implants are not an option for everyone. Because implants require surgery, patients should be in good health. Also, patients either must have enough bone to support the implants, or be able to grow enough bone. Patients who smoke or have chronic illness, such as diabetes or leukemia, may not be good candidates for implants. Your dentist can help you decide weather implant treatment is right for you. There are many different kinds of implants. Treatment can take only one day, or it can take several months or somewhere in between. Your dentist can outline a treatment plan that is most likely to be successful for you. #dentalimplants #dentalcare #implants #teeth dentistlamesa/dental-implants/
