Whether one has had to be extracted due to excessive rot or was knocked out during a sporting accident, absent teeth can cause no small amount of trouble in the mouth. Not only can they be detrimental to a once-beautiful smile, missing teeth can also cause your bite to become unstable.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, pain may occur in the facial muscles, speech may become more difficult than it once was&nbsp;and teeth next to the missing one could become &#39;tilted&#39; into the space, making them awkward to clean. This can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and a whole raft of other conditions.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most practical antidotes to missing teeth is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-services\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>. Let&#39;s take a look at just what these innovations are and a few things you&#39;ll need to know if you&#39;re considering this treatment. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What exactly are dental implants?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, a dental implant is an artificial implement designed to look, feel and act just like a real tooth. A small metal screw, normally made from titanium, will be placed securely into the jawbone. This anchor is used as a substitute for a tooth&#39;s natural root, and, over time, bone will grow around the screw. Effectively, this makes the screw part of the mouth itself. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pullQuoteWrapper\" style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; width: 25%; float: left; margin: 10px;\">\n<p class=\"pullQuote\" style=\"font-size: 1.4em!important; margin: 0!important; width: 100%!important; font-style: italic!important; \"><i>Success rates for dental implants are overwhelmingly positive, hovering around the 98 per cent mark.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next, an abutment in the form of a tiny metal post is inserted into the screw, which is used to hold the new tooth tightly in place. Artificial&nbsp;teeth are usually made from ceramic, but porcelain is also used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which candidates are best suited to dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because dental implants are designed for those that have missing teeth, it&#39;s these people that will be most suitable for the procedure. Tooth loss occurs for a number of reasons, with an accidental blow or gum disease chief among them. The best dental implant results, though, occur in those that have a reasonably healthy gum tissue. That&#39;s because the jaw bone will need to have a certain level of strength to hold the implants in place, to allow for the&nbsp;osseointegration of the implants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much do dental implants cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with most medical procedures, the cost of dental implants will vary depending on the individual situation. Because inserting dental implants is a technical, meticulous process, you should always be wary of so-called dentists offering to carry out the work for far lower prices than other professional practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to WebMD, success rates for dental implants are overwhelmingly positive, hovering around the 98 per cent&nbsp;mark. Additionally, should you care for them properly (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-services\/\">your dental surgeon<\/a> will direct you as to how to do this), there&#39;s no reason why they can&#39;t last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlineImageWrapper\" style=\"padding-right: 3px; float: left; margin: 10px !important; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;\">\n<figure style=\"margin: 0px!important; font-style: italic!important;\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"We'll give your mouth a thorough examination to ensure that you are suitable for dental implants.\" class=\"inlineImage\" height=\"auto\" id=\"14101811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.citydentists.co.nz\/dental-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/x_0_0_0_14101811_800.jpg\" width=\"100%\" \/>We&#39;ll give your mouth a thorough examination to ensure that you are suitable for dental implants.<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Why should I consider dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Without a full compliment of teeth, your mouth is not performing to its full capacity.
