implant dentistry (5)

Due to the high expense of implant dentistry, you may select the lowest choice. Cheap implants, on the other hand, deliver what they promise. Choosing the most respected dentist can have ramifications if you use inferior implant materials. More expensive implants are generally worth the investment in the long term because they are more robust and built to last.

The Risks of Cheap Implant Dentistry

Being able to finance tooth replacement is crucial, but not at the expense of quality services. Some dentists may promote inexpensive implant dentistry. However, "affordable" can be code for low-quality work.

Having your implant placed by a low-cost implant dentist may raise the risk of hyperplasia, adjacent tooth harm, and implant failure. Having your implant placed by a low-cost dentist may raise the risk of hyperplasia, adjacent tooth harm, and implant failure. Worse, you may find yourself paying more for lower-quality services.

Dental Implant Failure

For implant dentistry to work, the implant root must fuse, or osseointegrate, with the jawbone. Some circumstances outside a dentist's control, like smoking or poor dental health, can increase the likelihood of failure.

However, the dentist's ability also plays a role. If you receive low-quality implant dental treatments, you may end up paying more if the implant does not osseointegrate properly.

Tooth Injury

Going to a dentist who is not proficient in implant placement can cause harm to the adjacent teeth. These injuries can arise when the implant is incorrectly placed, or the root is excessively big.

If your dentist does not do a thorough evaluation before placing the implant, it is possible that the neighboring teeth will be damaged. To avoid these consequences, choose a dentist with implant experience who will carefully examine your dental history.

Inflammatory Fibrous Hyperplasia

Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, often known as fibrous dysplasia, is an oral bone disorder. It can result in discomfort, blisters, discoloration, and even bone abnormalities in the affected areas.

Implants that do not fit properly can cause this issue. The only method to alleviate discomfort is through surgery, which increases the cost of having implants. Working with a qualified dentist is one approach to avoid this possible outcome.

Hidden Fees

Last but not least, some "affordable" dental facilities may not actually be that cheap. The prices they quote may not include services such as X-rays. Alternatively, the dentist may merely quote you the cost of placing the implant.

In the latter instance, you may end up paying extra to have the abutment and crown installed. Avoid these potential hazards by selecting a reliable, transparent dental care provider in the first place.

Why High-Quality Implant Materials Matter

Choosing an experienced and reputed implant dentist is only the first step. Once in the chair, you should understand which implant root and crown materials to select.

The correct materials can reduce the risk of failure, lower overall costs, and provide the most natural-looking and feeling smile.

Reduced risk of osseointegration failure

As previously stated, osseointegration is the dentistry term for when an implant root integrates with the jawbone. Proper osseointegration is essential for a more durable, long-lasting tooth replacement and, eventually, a reduced cost.

Biocompatible implant root materials, like zirconia and titanium, provide the best osseointegration results. These materials are more expensive, but the potential dangers of using a less biocompatible material outweigh the cost. If your implant does not mesh with your jawbone, you will need to have a new root put. In many circumstances, that extra placement is not free, increasing the overall cost of your tooth replacement.

Reduced costs throughout time

One of the primary reasons individuals choose cheap implant materials is to save money. But did you know high-quality implants and crowns can cost less in the long run?

The reason for this is that more expensive implant materials are extremely durable. With good maintenance, your implant(s) will last longer, allowing you to spread the cost over time.

A more natural smile

High-quality dental implant materials provide a more natural appearance and feel. Pay great attention to the crown material you select. Porcelain is the ideal choice for a variety of reasons.

First and foremost, porcelain's appearance is the most similar to that of actual teeth. This material can be modified to match the precise color of the surrounding teeth. Furthermore, it reflects light like actual tooth enamel.

A second reason to choose porcelain for your crown is its durability. If you take excellent care of your replacement tooth, it should endure for at least 15 years, if not longer.

Dental Implants To Combat Aging

Missing teeth in your smile can make people feel less confident, but did you know that it can also age you prematurely? Our teeth play an important role in maintaining facial structure. When we lose teeth our face loses support, making you appear older than your actual age.
 

The skin on our face is aged by the sun, pollutants, and stress. If you lose a tooth, you may see wrinkles develop within months of tooth loss. Dental implants can help reverse this aging orocess caused by missing teeth.

Dental implants replace missing teeth and look and function just like your natural teeth. They are made of a titanium post and a porcelain crown. 

Common signs of Aging include:

Loose Skin, Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Patients with missing teeth may develop sagging or drooping facial skin near where the tooth is missing. With tooth loss the bones of the jaws will deteriorate since they are not being stimulated.

These changes will not happen overnight. However, tooth loss can age you as the skin around your jaw and chin sags and cheeks become sunken. Skin sagging will be noticeable within the first year of losing a tooth.

Changing To A Soft Food Diet

Missing one or more teeth means that your jaw must work extra hard to break down food. The extra wear tear on your jaw can create issues like TMJ Disorder. For this reason, many patiemts with missing teeth choose a soft food diet. 

Maintaining proper nutrition is also essential for a Youthful appearance. Adopting a soft food diet usually results in nutritional deficiencies.

Excess Wear of Remaining Teeth

Our teeth experience excess wear and stress daily, from crunchy foods to hot coffee.

Stains, chips, and cracks will add to an older-looking smile and a prematurely aged appearance. 

If you are missing teeth, you will also be at increased risk for periodontal disease. If not addressed quickly, you may lose more teeth making you look even older.

Dental implants are the ideal option for improving the overall appearance of a smile married by missing teeth. The final dental crowns are stain-resistant and shade-matched to the color of your natural teeth to blend seamleassly. 

Can Dental Implants Reverse Aging?

Dental implants make you look younger by giving support to the skin around the cheeks and jaws. The implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone. Once the implant has fused to your jaw, a natural-looking crown is added. This integration process allows the implant to stimulate the bone like natural teeth do, halting bone loss and restoring facial structure. Sunken skin and fine lines or wrinkles around the mouth will be reduced by placement of dental implants.

Many patiemts who are missing teeth experience sunken cheeks. This is when your jawbone shrinks, and your face looks shorter. Implants will halt this loss in it's tracks.

Other teeth replacement options like dentures do not offer the same support and are less stable.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth.

How to Care for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent addition to your smile. This also means they need to be cared for just like your natural teeth.

It is recommended that you brush and floss regularly to keep plaque and bacteria build up at bay. Brushing your implants with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste at least twice a day helps reduces the likelihood of dental infection. A dental infection can lead to implant loss and other health concerns.

Flossing Tips

Be sure to carefully clean around your implant by flossing underneath the implant crown. While the dental implant itself cannot get tooth decay, a periodontal infection can develop in the gum tissues and bone surrounding the dental implant. It is also recommended to use an ADA approved mouthrinse to control bacteria levels.

Developing a good oral hygiene regimen at home will help keep your implants clean and ensure their longevity. 

Maintain regular dental visits to keep your dental implant healthy as well as the rest of your smile.

How Successful Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants have a high success rate of over 98%, and most patients are amazed at how natural and strong they feel as part of their smile.

Nobody ever wants to consider losing a tooth, but at least there are options that are both functional and esthetic.

Marielaina Perrone DDS believes dental implants are the ideal tooth replacement for your smile. However, are they right for your smile? If you have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, below are a few things you should know about the dental implant procedure.

Dental implants act as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth.

Dental implant restorations are anchored by a post (the actual implant) placed in the bone and act like your natural tooth root. The dental implant is intimately connected via a process called osseointegration. This process keeps the bones stimulated and prevents them from resorbing over time. This bone maintenance will give you a more youthful appearance than if it was to resorb away.

The placement procedure and restoration have multiple steps.

Dental implants are placed during a surgical procedure performed by a qualified and experienced implant dentist. Osseointegration with the bone takes about 4-6 months to complete, creating a solid base for the eventual replacement tooth. Once fusion is complete, a dental crown will be placed on top of the dental implant to restore and enhance your smile.

Dental Implants are considered a permanent solution to tooth loss.

Dental implants are designed with proper maintenance to be permanent. A properly designed, placed, and cared for implant can last a lifetime. Because they stand alone (unlike a dental bridge), they do not cause stress to the adjacent teeth.

They are low maintenance.

Dental implants can be brushed and flossed just like natural teeth and cannot develop tooth decay. However, they can develop an infection in the bone and periodontal disease without proper care. Care should include at-home dental hygiene maintenance as well as regular visits to the dentist.

Dental Implants are highly customized for each patient.

Treatment is highly customized to the unique needs of each patient. Factors include how many teeth need replacement, where they are located in the mouth and the number and type of implants utilized.
