Perfecting Your Smile With Dental Implants

A Missing tooth can really affect the way your smile looks and feels. Patients come to East Kildonan Dental for our many excellent services including the variety of ways we can replace missing teeth. From bridges to dentures, our experienced dental group is ready and waiting to help you restore your smile to its former glory. One of the more popular ways to replace a missing tooth is by getting dental implants in Winnipeg. These implants fit comfortably into your mouth and look just like natural teeth. They are designed to replace the missing roots of your teeth and help support any artificial implant placement that is necessary. A dental implant is so similar to real teeth that you won’t even be able to tell the difference!

How Do Dental Implants Work?

A Dental implant is adhered by using artificial roots that actually graft with the jawbone. These false roots, shaped like small screws, are planted into the jaw bone. The medical-grade titanium screws eventually merge with the jawbone over time, creating a solid structure upon which the dentist attaches the artificial replacement teeth, referred to as dental crowns. A small piece known as an abutment connects the crown to these small screws. The abutment is designed to be a permanent feature, although it can always be removed by your henderson dentist if necessary. It can support a single tooth or a set of teeth, depending on how many teeth you may be missing. Each crown is fitted to your mouth to match the teeth that surround it. To the untrained eye, these crowns are virtually indistinguishable from your teeth. With properly fitted crowns, you can still eat your favourite foods and go about your day without thinking about your new smile. They look and feel completely natural. Many people prefer a dental implant over dentures because they function more like regular teeth. Dentures can sometimes slip and slide in the mouth but your crowns always stay firmly held in place.

Full-Mouth Treatment

Some people come to East Kildonan Dental because they are missing several adjoining teeth. It isn’t uncommon to find patients that are missing many teeth or perhaps have failing teeth. While you can do a single dental implant to disguise just one missing tooth, our experienced team can also offer full-mouth treatments. In this type of scenario, we would place four separate implants into the mouth. Each implant would attach an entire arch of teeth, minimizing the number of abutments and individual crowns in your mouth.

Benefits of Dental Implants Over Dentures

When you need to have several teeth replaced, dentists usually recommend getting implants, a dental bridge, or a set of dentures. Many patients are now choosing the new technology of a dental implant over traditional dentures because implants require much less upkeep than dentures. A Dental implant can be brushed and maintained in the same way as a natural tooth, while dentures require the use of adhesives, creams, and cleansers to keep them in proper working order. Dentures will often restrict the types of foods you can eat whereas a dental implant does not. If you have dentures, eating hard foods puts too much strain on them and that can cause damage. For example, nuts and popcorn should not be eaten when you have dentures. Dental implants have no such restrictions and allow you to maintain true freedom when it comes to your meals. Another reason why people opt for dental implants over dentures is due to their longevity. Dental implants are an investment that lasts for a lifetime while dentures will eventually wear out, needing to be relined or remade entirely, making them less effective over the long run. Dental implants cost more then Dentures, but they last longer.
