Dentistry is advancing every day; however, millions of senior patients suffer tooth loss, mostly because of tooth decay, periodontal disease, or injury. Missing teeth could lead to the loss of bone, drifting of teeth, misalignment, inability to chew, pronounce words, etc. For many years, the only treatment options available for seniors with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. But today, Dental Implants for Seniors are available.
Implants are artificial dental roots made of biocompatible titanium and used as screws or cylinders, which are surgically inserted into the maxillofacial bone and attached to it through a process of osseointegration that lasts two to three months. dental implants for seniors act in the same way as natural roots, becoming a stable base for artificial replacement teeth. Once the union is achieved, the abutment is placed, and then the artificial tooth.
