Easy to Understand Info on Teeth Implants by Kits Family Dental

We love the following info graphic by Atlanta Dentures so much that we decided to break it down and do a separate blog post on dental implants. Well, that and we also get a fair amount of questions from patients requiring teeth implants.

Intro – Teeth Implants Vancouver

First we will cover a few basics. Teeth implants, also known as dental implants or just implants, are made to replace missing teeth. They will replace missing tooth roots and the replacement tooth will be made to match your own natural teeth. Patients report that getting teeth implants is not particularly painful, local anesthesia is used for the procedure.

There are great advantages to teeth implants, including greater self-confidence, it’s easier to eat, and they’re more comfortable than dentures or bridges because you don’t need to remove them and durability. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.

In a nutshell, as seen in the infographic, teeth implants:

  • Can be used to replace one or more teeth.
  • Can be used to anchor fixed bridges.
  • Are the costliest option for tooth replacement.
  • The implant post within the jawbone and the crown can break.
  • Infection can occur at the implant site anytime following placement.
  • Teeth implants may not be an option if you have significant bone loss or oral health problems.
