To ensure that dental implants remain healthy long-term frequent professional hygiene visits and check-ups must be coupled with proficient home-based care by the patient. Every patient is different and a variety of parameters including medical history, dental history, bruxism, and gum disease can affect the long-term prognosis of a dental implant; however, dental implant therapy is one of the most predictable dental treatment modalities available today with more than 96% survival rate after ten years in function. 
A removable set of teeth- known as dentures are often not tolerated by patients very well. Patients report that they are often bulky, make them gag, move around, do not allow them to properly taste their food or chew their food with adequate force and function, avoiding many of their favourite foods. Patients lose their confidence to go out in public due to the fear of their dentures coming loose at inopportune times when speaking or eating, lose their self esteem, and often become social recluses. Dentures accelerate bone loss and deterioration of facial structure. With dental implants you don’t need to worry about your teeth falling out when laughing or speaking. They last longer, provide better value long-term, need less dental visits to maintain, help stimulate and maintain jaw bone and facial structure. They do not cover your palate with bulky plastic allowing you to taste your food and not gag, and function similar to natural teeth, restoring your smile, function and confidence.
Dental implants are designed to fit, appear, and feel similar to the remaining teeth in your mouth. Dental implants are often the closest available tooth replacement treatment modality to natural teeth. They will feel, function and look similar to your natural teeth. 
Titanium or titanium alloys are often used to make dental implants. After placing them in the jawbone, the bone will grow surrounding the implants and create a bond with them. This process is known as osseointegration, which enables an implant to act as though it is a natural tooth root, providing anchorage for the tooth. The tooth component is made from a variety of materials based on patient requirements, e.g. zirconia, porcelain, etc. 
Most healthy adults are suitable candidates for dental implants. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Berzin to find out if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. 
Gum health is essential to maintain your implants functioning and looking just like your natural teeth.
