We know to brush and floss daily to avoid cavities, but if something cosmetic is necessary, we are generally in the dark. That\u2019s what dentists are for, right? What is a dental implant is, what does it do? Today, we answer your questions about this very versatile dental option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/implant-dentistry.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental implant<\/a> is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are natural-looking and feeling and under proper conditions, such as placement by a diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do dental implants do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Replace one or more teeth<\/li><li>Support a bridge and reduce the need for a partial denture.<\/li><li>Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of dental implants available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=endosteal+implant&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjEravFsqv6AhUUK0QIHez0AgwQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&amp;biw=1536&amp;bih=714&amp;dpr=1.25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Endosteal<\/a> (in the bone): Most commonly used type of implant includes screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subperiosteal (on the bone): These are placed on top of the jaw with metal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esthetically, dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often happen with bridgework and dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighboring teeth are not changed to support the implant as with a bridge. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are secure. You don\u2019t have to worry when speaking or eating, and there\u2019s no messy pastes and glue. You will go about your daily routine with confidence and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information about dental implants, call Dr. Pliev in Ottawa, ON at 613-235-5348 or visit<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.ottawadentistryonkent.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Konstantin Pliev proudly serve patients from Ottawa and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to our teeth, it\u2019s pretty safe to say, we aren\u2019t all that familiar with things.
