What are the benefits of dental implants for the elderly?
As the saying goes, "If there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure". If there is any problem with the old man's body, timely solution is the key. A bad tooth, especially the loss of more than one tooth, will not only directly lead to the decline of chewing function and insufficient nutrition intake, but also may lead to speech dysfunction, accelerated aging of face, digestive system disorder, cardiovascular disease aggravation, etc. As an excellent way to repair missing teeth at present, how can dental implants ensure the quality of life of the elderly with missing teeth?
1. Implant teeth are safe and reliable, and can be eaten safely
Wang Shen, director of the Department of Plantation, said that when it comes to "planting", it is easy to associate people with planting crops. People mistakenly believe that planting a tooth is planting a seed, and a new tooth will grow automatically. In fact, it is not. Implant teeth are actually artificial teeth. It is to implant an artificial root on the gums of the missing teeth, and then install the prepared crowns on the artificial roots to play the chewing function. The materials of implant teeth can be roughly divided into root materials and crown materials. Crown materials can be flexibly selected according to the wishes of patients, but root materials are strictly regulated. At present, the commonly used implant material is titanium. Titanium has good wear resistance, corrosion resistance, good biocompatibility, non-toxic to human body, no side effects, no magnetism, no stimulation, and is stable in the body. Titanium is also widely used in artificial bones and joints, heart valves, cardiac pacemakers, etc.
2. Implant teeth can help you find the comfort of real teeth
Because the implant tooth has its own root, the artificial root and the alveolar bone are connected by bone, which is very solid, as deeply rooted as the real tooth, and the repair effect is very good. When chewing, it can help you find the comfort of the real tooth, and can also feel cold, hot, sour, sweet, fragrant, and hot.
The implant teeth do not need to be attached to the adjacent teeth for fixation, and their independence and integrity are good. Not only is there no sense of foreign bodies in the mouth, patients tend to forget the existence of dentures, but also there is a gap between the implant teeth and the adjacent teeth. When cleaning, it is as convenient and durable as the natural teeth. Implant teeth do not need molars and do not cause harm to healthy adjacent teeth. Therefore, whether it is single tooth loss or multiple tooth loss, implant teeth have become an ideal choice.
