If you\u2019re missing a few teeth, odds are you\u2019re sick of it. You\u2019re\ntired of not getting to enjoy your favorite chewy or crunchy foods. You\u2019re tired\nof hiding your mouth behind your hand when you laugh because you don\u2019t want\nanyone to see the gaps in your smile. You\u2019re tired of not having the confidence\nthat you used to have. Fortunately, you can fix all of those problems with dental implants<\/a>\nin DeSoto \u2013 the artificial tooth roots that are topped with lifelike restorations\nlike crowns. They provide a whole host of benefits, from protecting your\njawbone to looking completely natural. But how can you decide if they\u2019re the\nright choice for you? Let\u2019s look at a few factors to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jawbone Health <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are inserted directly into the jawbone.\nThen, over a period of a few months, the jawbone actually grows around the\nimplants, fusing to the bone in a process called osseointegration. However, if\nyou do not have adequate jawbone available to grow around the implant, the\nosseointegration could be a failure. Dental implant failure means that your\ndentist in DeSoto will have to remove the implant, and all the cost and\npreparation of the implant will have been for nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your dentist determines that you don\u2019t have sufficient\njawbone, don\u2019t worry. They can simply perform a bone graft, where they remove\nbone from somewhere else in your body and transfer it to your jawbone. This process\nusually takes a few months to fully heal, so it will have to delay getting your\nimplant. However, it will significantly decrease the chance of implant failure.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall Health <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As long as you\u2019re in good general health, getting dental\nimplants will be generally be no problem. If, on the other hand, you have\ncertain medical conditions, there could be an issue. Autoimmune conditions like\ndiabetes could interfere with your ability to heal from the implant procedure. Diseases\nlike HIV\/AIDS might make your body not agree with the implant. When in doubt, ask\nyour doctor if your health condition would make getting a dental implant more\ndifficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Health  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Implants will become intimately acquainted with your gums,\nso it\u2019s crucial that your gums are in good health before a dental implant procedure\ncan begin. Since your mouth will be sore and likely unable to receive dental\nwork for a few days following the surgery, it\u2019s important that you get those\nissues, like cavities or gum disease, dealt with before your procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are a great way to restore the look, feel,\nand function of your smile. Find out if they\u2019re right for you by scheduling a\nconsultation with your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
