Slide 1: This article provides a detailed understanding of what dental implants are and how they work to provide a fixed and long-term tooth replacement solution. Norwalk Dental Implants: Introduction Fifty years ago, a tooth lost to decay or accidental trauma would be a tooth lost forever. Your smile aesthetics would forever be marked by a noticeable gap and your ability to eat and speak properly would be permanently compromised. It was not until the discovery of ‘osseointegration’; the ability of titanium to form a strong biological bond with bone tissue, that it became possible for patients to receive a fixed (non-removable) and completely functional tooth replacement solution. Subsequent to this discovery in 1951 by Swedish orthopedic surgeon, Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, the technology behind Norwalk dental implants has become more and more sophisticated. Nowadays, patients presenting with advanced tooth loss and jaw bone deterioration are able to get a brand new set of immediately functional, aesthetically-pleasing and, most importantly, non-removable teeth in as little as a single day. And this is all thanks to the incredible technology that is Norwalk dental implants and the skilled and experienced professionals that place them. Norwalk Dental Implants: What Are They? Ok, so we’ve all heard about dental implants and have at least a vague idea of what they are. Norwalk dental implants are essentially tiny titanium screws to which an abutment or ‘collar’ is fastened. Then, to this ‘collar’ the oral surgeon permanently affixes an artificial tooth crown that is custom fabricated to accommodate the gap left behind by its predecessor. Once Norwalk dental implants have been surgically placed, they are virtually indistinguishable from any healthy tooth. Best yet, they function just like natural teeth and if looked after properly can last decades and even a lifetime!
Slide 2: Norwalk Dental Implants: How Do They Work? The science behind Norwalk dental implants is entirely made possible by the process of ‘osseointegration’. Titanium is the only non-toxic and stable metal on the periodic table that is capable of bonding with bone tissue. Its exceptional strength and lightweight properties make it a perfect candidate for replacing and repairing human bones, joints and of course, teeth. Once placed in a predrilled socket at the site/s of the missing tooth or teeth, the ensuing months see the Norwalk dental implants fuse with the underlying jaw bone tissue. So, unlike traditional tooth replacement technology, dental implants replace the entire missing tooth, from the root to the crown and this makes them a sophisticated and superior solution. The Benefits of Norwalk Dental Implants Norwalk dental implants offer patients a fixed, non-removable and aesthetic solution to single and multiple missing teeth. They are exceptionally strong and enable patients to eat all the foods they love without worrying about them breaking or falling out. Norwalk dental implants also promote the health of the underlying jaw bone tissue, which in turn helps to preserve the natural and youthful facial contours. Unlike dental bridges, implants do not cause any damage to the neighboring teeth and they feel completely comfortable and natural in the mouth. Norwalk dental implants last longer than any other tooth replacement technology with a potential lifespan of 20 to 30 years and even longer if cared for properly. A Final Note Single and multiple missing teeth should never be ignored. Norwalk dental implants offer comprehensive solutions that will see patients enjoying a restored self-confidence, bite functionality and smile aesthetics. Thanks for reading
