ART Dentistry All You Need To Know About Dental Implants | Page 3

In some instances such as with facial impact where a tooth is knocked out completely and intact, it is
possible to attach an implant rod to one's natural tooth and reinsert it back into the jawbone. However,
this is not always possible, especially if the jaw refuses to knit. This type of procedure can only be done
if a patient seeks immediate dental care after the accident, and of course if the tooth is in sound enough
condition.
Unlike bridges or partial dentures which are built around and fitted to any remaining natural teeth, a
dental implant has its own support and does not need to rely on that of other teeth. This not only helps to
protect any remaining teeth should you fall behind on your dentist visits but helps to support them in the
same way your normal teeth would.
One of the aspects patients of dental implants really like in comparison to dentures is that there are no
adhesives or metal clasps with which to be concerned when you are getting ready in the morning. As the
implants are screwed into the gum line and jaw there is little chance of food particles getting trapped
under a plate between your pallet and causing you discomfort. Not only does this mean that a patient
does not have to suffer the issues associated with wearing dentures but the implants have a much more
important role.
