From Clínica Dentae explain the advantages of dental implants and at what time they start to be needed

Lost teeth? Any holes because there's a missing piece? An implant is not just a replacement, it also prevents the rest of the teeth from moving, worsening the bite, among many other things. But what is an implant and how is the process? From Clinic Dentaeexperts in implantology explain this service a little more:Them dental implants are a solution to replenish lost teeth. An implant is a titanium screw that is inserted into the maxillary bone, on which later crowns or prosthesis will be placed that replace the lost tooth in appearance and functionality."

In addition, they say that "the implants are titanium because they are a biocompatible material that allows osteointegration, that is, fusion with the bone". Implantology has various advantages for patients who access it: on the one hand, recover the full functionality of the mouth. It helps to improve digestion and chew properly, in addition to, in many cases, to recover the smile and to speak without difficulty since the tongue can move, again, naturally.

In contrast, if implantology is not used in the recommended cases, there can be movements between teeth, since "it is usual that teeth adjacent to the lost piece tend to move and occupy the gap that is left free", they detail from Clínica Dentae. In addition, there will be a greater difficulty in chewing, as well as bone loss and an aggravation of digestive problems.

The digital age in dental implantology:

One of the benefits of digital planning is that it is a predictable treatment, we will have a greater control of the location of the implant according to the thickness and depth of the remaining bone. Precise, because it ensures optimal three-dimensional placement of implants by reducing the possibility of implant failure and improving the aesthetics of restoration. Safety, as we avoid invading anatomical repairs such as nerves, maxillary breasts, floor of nostrils. In addition, it optimizes our work and shortens the time of our intervention, as greater control involves greater efficiency and lower costs. Also, by reducing the number of visits, improving the aesthetics of restoration and the possibility of minimally invasive surgery.
