A dental implant tooth replaces a missing tooth and avoids involving the adjacent healthy teeth. In fact, it closely resembles the natural design of a incisor, bicuspid or molar tooth. The titanium dental implant takes the place of a root and the implant post and dental implant crown take the place of the natural dental crown. Sometimes it is even difficult to determine which crown is the artificial one. The replacement tooth also functions and chews much like a real tooth. Implant Dentistry has a lot to offer dental patients.
More than one dental implant tooth can be placed in a row to restore a whole area of missing teeth. This greatly assists the patient with chewing and allows the patient to eat what he or she wants. Although it is difficult to replace a missing tooth directly seen in the smile, careful planning can often result in a natural looking restoration. Replacing several teeth can avoid the whole issue of loose and floppy partial dentures which can become embarassing and depressing for a patient.
There are lots of good reasons to have a dental implant tooth. The replacement dental crown helps keep the original natural design of the dental arches and prevents moving and shifting of the teeth. It avoids the need to cut down natural and healthy teeth to construct a dental bridge. It is also much like a natural tooth and looks and feels like a natural tooth. In many cases, the dental implant and crown restoration also outlast all of the other possible treatment options that the patient has. It's a good long term investment.
A dental implant tooth is a wonderful option for replacing a missing tooth. This dental implant procedure is becoming common and mainstream. However, most dental insurance companies have refused to pay for it, even though they pay for the replacement of a traditional dental bridge.
