Dental implants<\/a> have risen in recent years to become one of the most common methods of replacing teeth, with their strength, durability, and realism earning them fans among dentists and patients alike. However, there\u2019s still a lot of things that people don\u2019t know about this incredible treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of the lesser-known facts regarding this treatment that may help you learn more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants Actually Fuse with the Jaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generally speaking, the metal parts of a dental implant are constructed from titanium. This material is chosen for several reasons: it\u2019s durable and resistant to tarnishing, but the most important reason is the metal\u2019s natural biocompatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, titanium has the relatively unique ability to actually entangle itself with bone tissue, a process known as osseointegration. This is the secret behind dental implant\u2019s strength and power, and an underappreciated aspect of the dental implant process in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants Have Been Around for a Very Long Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rise of dental implants in the 20th<\/sup> century was due to the discovery of titanium\u2019s biocompatibility, which promised greater strength than was previously achievable in tooth replacement. However, this is far from their inception as a concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, fossil records dating back to the ancient Maya include skulls with small pieces of shells and rocks implanted into the bone tissue. While this wasn\u2019t nearly as effective as what we can accomplish today, it shows that this method of tooth replacement is almost as old as civilization itself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants Actually Protect the Jaw Tissue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the issues that people who are missing teeth often run into is the gradual reabsorption of bone tissue in the jaw. The body is excellent at allocating resources where they\u2019re needed most, and when your jaw is no longer holding teeth in place, it\u2019s not being used. This means that your body will naturally move nutrients away from it, causing it to shrink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental bridges and dentures will do nothing to address this issue, but dental implants actually stimulate the jaw to prevent bone loss from happening. Yet another reason why dental implants are the superior method of filling the gaps in your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
