Make Your Appearance Younger With Dental Implants & Gum Graft

If you have suffered from gum disease for many years, you may have left it too late to get reversal treatment. When your gums are bleeding when you brush your teeth, this is the first sign of gum disease and at this stage, the disease can be reversed.

However, the majority of people will ignore the bleeding because they dread seeing the dentist. If you do this, the gum disease will spread and you will notice that your teeth will become loose. The only treatment available to you now will be to have teeth removed and replaced with dental implants.

Dental Implants:

Dental implants are used to restore teeth that are missing. Dental implants basically act as replacement teeth. You can have your tooth replaced the same day and walk out with your new tooth implant. The new tooth is as good as your original teeth and you can use them as you would use your normal teeth.

Dental Implant Benefits:

There are many advantages to dental implants, including:
  • Improved appearance
  • Improved speech
  • Improved comfort
  • Easier eating
  • Improved self-esteem
  • Improved oral health
  • Durability
  • Convenience    
If the disease has spread to the jawbone, you might have to have a bone graft before the dental implants can be inserted.

Bone Graft:

When the jawbone has been infected by gum disease, it will degenerate and this means that you will not be able to have dental implants until the bone has been treated. Bone graft will help the damaged bone to reproduce healthy bone. Once a bone graft has been completed, you can now look at dental implants and replacing the damaged teeth.
