Why Do We Need Implants?

TM

A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. They are secured in the jaw bone and are not visible once surgically placed.They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, meaning that it is not rejected by the body. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. Cortex’s unique and innovative developments have upgraded dental implants industry, manufactured from the highest quality materials and engineered to last for lifetime.

Biting forces with implants almost similar to natural teeth, whilst with dentures the biting forces are approximately 90% less.

Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jaw bone and are not visible once surgically placed, supporting adjacen teeth and maintaining jawbone’s shape and density.

Teeth are susceptible to dental decay.Dental implants are metal and do not decay.

Dental implants help you eat, chew smile, talk and look completely natural.This functionality imparts social, psychological and physical well-being.

With dental implants you feel confident and comfortable because they are fixed and do not need to be removed like dentures.

Implants maintain the bone volume while dentures causes bone resorption.

Implants enable you to chew and eat naturally.

Combining implants with denturesstabilizes them.

Cost-effectively, implants replace teeth and last, functioning in the mouth, for 10 – 30 years.

Esthetically restored implants imitate natural teeth appearance.

Questions About Implantation

What is a dental implant? How much do dental implants cost?

How much pain is involved in a dental implant installation process?

How will I know if I can get a dental implant installed?

How long can I expect a dental implant to last?

Is there a possibility that an implant will be rejected by my body?

Dental implant is a device that is made in order to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are

made from Titanium, a type of metal that adheres well to human bone. Dental implants

simulate real teeth for the jawbone and prevent the side effects (such as bone loss)

that would appear if missing teeth would not be replaced.

There are different types of dental implants and their prices vary. They are not cheap,

but it would not be an exaggeration to say that dental implant is an instant solution,

which saves much more money and suffer on the long run. If missing teeth don’t get

replaced by dental implants, the damage that will be caused to one’s health will require

a bigger investment over the years.

This might be the most common question related to dental implants, asked by potential

patients. The dental implant installation is performed under local or general anesthesia

and pain can be felt only once the anesthesia wears off. Still, it’s usually less painful than

a crown installation, despite being an initial procedure and can be easily controlled by

proper medication.

If you are missing a tooth or a few - there is already a high probability that you should

get a dental implant installed. In order to make sure that you can get dental implants

installed in your mouth - you should consult with a professional dentist.

High quality dental implant, like the ones developed and manufactured by Cortex,

should last for years. A dental implant is a second chance for those who lost their

original teeth, which provide the same level of comfort when you eat, speak and, last but

not least - smile.

Contrary to the heart, liver and other implanted innards, which require matching blood typing

and some other specific factors in order to adapt themselves to a new body, there is

no reason why a dental implant would be rejected by the human body.
