Having dental implants in NE Minneapolis can often be the best choice for a person who has missing teeth. Implants are often the best way to replace their lost teeth with replacement teeth that work in a way that mimics their original teeth. This can result in teeth that look and feel natural, which can eliminate some of the pain, discomfort and awkwardness that prior dental replacement options generally caused.
In years past, when a person lost one or more teeth they were faced with either dentures or a bridge to replace their lost teeth. While these treatments could cover the gaps left by missing teeth, they could often cause pain and discomfort as well. This was because these types of treatments were generally not very stable in the patient’s mouth. Since dentures and even a bridge could move about in the mouth, they often caused sores and other types of pain. In addition, they did not always feel very natural in the mouth and this could cause a patient to speak and/or eat in an awkward manner.
Dental Implants in NE Minneapolis are much different than these types of treatments. An endosteal implant is actually placed into a patient’s jawbone. The implant is generally a rod made of a material that will easily bond with the jawbone to create a foundation that will not shift about in the mouth. This is beneficial when a dentist from Diamond Dental attaches the replacement teeth appliances to the implant. By having a stable implant appliances such as crowns, bridges or dentures will be less likely to move about in the mouth and this can eliminate much of the pain and discomfort that other treatments could cause.
Implants also are beneficial because they feel more natural in the mouth. Because they are more like the original teeth, there is not a lot of strange feeling and tasting dental work that a patient must learn to live with. This can make it much easier for the patient to speak, eat and smile normally. Dental implants can be a great choice because they can help a person feel more confident about their appearance when they smile, eat or speak, which can have a positive effect on the person and their life in general.
