Dental Implants And Artificial Crowns

What Does Dental Implantation Mean?

Dental implantation is the most modern and widespread method of treating toothlessness (adentia). Dental implants are used when a patient has completely lost a tooth. This means that there is no root in the jaw bone. The implantation procedure involves placing an artificial root, i.e. a metal implant, in the patient's jawbone, on which the artificial tooth, the same crown, is subsequently fixed. Today, there are many methods of filling the space left after tooth extraction, however, implantation remains the most optimal option, because the implant and the artificial tooth placed on it (crown) visually replicate the structure of a natural tooth. Once dental implants are fixed in place of a missing tooth, the difference between it and natural teeth becomes invisible to the eye. A modern style implant mainly consists of three parts - a titanium artificial root that is inserted into the bone; an implant abutment that connects the artificial crown to the metal root; An artificial implant crown that visually resembles a natural tooth. Replacing a missing tooth with an implant plays an important role in maintaining the general health and hygiene of the oral cavity, because implants, along with the visual effect, improve the maxillofacial system function and prevent disruption of the normal chewing process.

Artificial Crown

Instead of a dental implant, an artificial tooth crown is used when the patient's tooth crown is damaged and the root in the jaw bone is solid. For the most part, it is impossible to restore the shape of the upper part of the tooth (the crown above the gum) with a brace or an insert, which is why doctors advise patients to replace the tooth with an artificial crown. Like implants, artificial dental crowns restore the function of the chewing apparatus and prevent the development of facial asymmetry. Modern artificial crowns are made of various materials. An experienced and professional dentist will help you choose the material of the artificial crown. It is very important to take into account such factors as the patient's natural tooth color and the structure of the enamel (the same enamel) at the initial stage of treatment. The artificial crown, which is precisely adjusted to the individual characteristics of the patient's oral cavity in accordance with modern standards, is distinguished by its durability. It performs its function for many years, however, the preservation of the initial effect and the functional condition depends on how the patient maintains daily hygiene. In order to maintain oral health, it is necessary to visit the dentist at least once every 6 months and have a professional cleaning of the teeth.

When Should We Consult A Dentist?

When the symmetry of the tooth row is preserved and the teeth are firmly placed next to each other in the mouth, they do not move and are therefore protected from vibration and other types of injuries. The space freed by tooth extraction breaks the strength of the tooth row and threatens the healthy functioning of the oral cavity. In addition, the lost tooth can change your facial features, because the space created in its place interferes with the normal process of chewing and improper stimulation of the facial features occurs, the patient grinds food. Only on the side where there is no missing tooth. Accordingly, the muscles of only one side of the face are developed. If you are suffering from adentia (toothlessness), you should see an experienced dentist as soon as possible so that you can maintain a healthy mouth and attractive smile.
