Ok, folks, I have a four-dollar word for you, “Osseointegration.” If you’ve never heard of it, you’re about to discover why so many dentists, the dentists at Bowman Dental included, choose dental implants as the go-to recommended treatment for missing teeth and advanced tooth decay. Osseointegration, combined with the benefits of dental implants, has solidified implants as the gold standard for restoring smiles and preserving oral health.
Osseointegration is at the heart of dental implant success. This biological phenomenon occurs when a titanium implant fixture fuses with the surrounding bone tissue. This process is aided by the unique properties of titanium, which is the material most commonly used for dental implants. When a dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, the bone tissue gradually grows and integrates around it, anchoring it securely in place.
With traditional tooth replacements such as bridges or dentures, the appliance sits on top of the gums and is anchored to the other teeth or secured with adhesives. On the other hand, dental implants mimic natural teeth’ structure by replacing both the crown and the root.
By mimicking the crown and the root, dental implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone resorption—the gradual loss of jawbone density that occurs when teeth are missing. By stimulating the underlying bone tissue through osseointegration, dental implants help preserve the jawbone’s structural integrity and prevent the sunken facial appearance that can result from bone loss.
In addition to preserving jawbone health, dental implants play a key role in maintaining your youthful facial appearance. When you lose teeth, the surrounding bone gradually deteriorates. This leads to changes in the shape and contours of your face. Dental implants prevent bone resorption and preserve facial structure. This helps you maintain a more youthful and vibrant appearance for years and decades to come.
