Dental implants consist of a titanium post that\u2019s embedded in the jaw and a porcelain crown that sits on top of it. Titanium is sort of unique as a metal, in that it\u2019s one of the few that is capable of actually fusing with the bone itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, the metal is extraordinarily durable, which goes further to explaining why dental implants last as long as they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Attached to the Jaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants solve a problem that a lot of other tooth replacement options can\u2019t. When you lose a tooth, your body stops sending nutrients to that area of the jaw, which naturally leads to bone loss. Dental implants stimulate the jaw, undoing that damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridges and dentures can look great and hold strong under pressure, but eventually the bone that forms their foundation will shrink too much to support them properly, meaning that they\u2019ll need to be relined or replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Dentist is an Expert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important variable when it comes to the success of your dental implant is the quality of your dentist. Most dentists who perform the procedure have received specialty training. They understand exactly what could go wrong and what you can do to circumvent the pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all of those things in mind, you can be thankful for how incredible dental technology has become, and feel all the most thankful to be able to reap the rewards of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. James Kramer has been a practicing dentist for over 30 years, and he loves being able to come to work every day and make a measurable difference in people\u2019s lives. He does that by helping people to understand their issues, and partnering with them to find the ideal treatment plan. Dr. Kramer graduated from the Temple University School of Dentistry, and he has since earned Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry, which is a distinction earned by less than 5% of dentists in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about why dental implants are successful, we can be reached at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kramerdmd.com\/contact.html\">website<\/a> or by phone at (302) 436-5133.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dental implants are often recommended by dentists as the gold standard of tooth replacement options.
