Richmond Dental Implant is metal frames that are surgically located into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

Because implants combine to your jawbone, they provide steady support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won't slip or move in your mouth an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges as well as individual crowns placed over implants feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.

Bay Area Implant Dentist says Dental implants will work and look like your natural teeth. However, for some patients, it will be difficult to make the implant look exactly like your natural teeth. At times your implant will not be placed straight, but will be inserted on an angle in the bone because of the amount of bone that you have and the amount of bone that is needed to place the implant properly. A crown placed over an implant that is at an angle may not appear as natural as your own tooth. However, it will typically give you a very good result. Another situation in which it may be difficult to match the appearance of a natural tooth is when the crown is made more bulky to close a space. Studies so far have shown that these implants can last as long as 25 years.

You should be aware that when implants are used to replace lower teeth, a nerve that runs through the jawbone can sometimes be injured when the bone is being drilled or the implant is being placed. This can cause numbness or tingling. If this happens, it usually involves the lower part of the lip and chin or one side of the tongue. The numbness can be temporary, until the nerve heals, or it can be permanent. However, it is not common for the nerve to be injured. X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans can help your dentist to see where the nerve is located and minimize the possibility of injuring the nerve
