Many times a tooth is lost following an accident requiring a dental implant to be used in its place. Other times, a patient must extract a tooth because the decay has overtaken the root and there is no possible way to save it. In either scenario a dental implant is one excellent solution that is both cosmetically pleasing and practically solvent.

<p>It is not wise to leave an open gap in one’s mouth, even if it is near the back because eventually the teeth will start to slide leading to more problems with neighboring teeth. Over time, the bone that is left behind in the jaw will also weaken leading to more problems with neighboring teeth. Therefore, something should be done to add support to the jaw bone while offering additional support for chewing.</p>
<p><a href="http://reservedentalgroup.com/boca-raton-dentist-services/boca-raton-dental-implants"><strong>Dental implants</strong></a> are artificial teeth roots that can be screwed into the jaw bone in order to hold a replacement tooth. Sometimes when more than one tooth is missing a dental bridge will be placed to hold the space of several teeth. Most dental implants are placed directly into the bone via the use of a cylinder, screw, or blade that is placed into the jawbone. Once the wound has healed then an implant that holds the prosthetic teeth or tooth can be screwed into place.</p>
<p>Sometimes patients that do not have enough bone remaining or those that have problems with dentures will choose to get subperisotal dental implants which are implants that are placed on the bone and along the top of the jaw. These require a metal framework and are more noticeable than regular endosteal dental implants but are also an effective way to restore a patient’s bite.</p><p>
