Читать книгу Dental Implants Made Simple - Jonathan Penchas - Страница 3

Overview

Let’s face it; teeth and dentistry are not at the top of the agenda for most of us. They usually only get our attention when they start hurting. And then zap – they get our attention in a big way.

Then you go to the dentist, who checks your teeth and gives you a long talk in an unknown language – “Dentaleze”. They flood you with information you don’t understand. What you usually understand is that it’s expensive and painful.

Dentists and physicians like talking in secret code. It’s the translation for the regular folks that was missing before this book.

If you try to do some research to make a decision about dental implants will find books written for dentists, or 300 page books written for consumers. You wouldn’t want to read books this big if you were deciding on open-heart surgery or mortgaging your life, let alone a decision about replacing a tooth.

This book is part of the “dentistry made simple“ series. These books allow you to master dentistry basics in a snap.

My goal is to make it simple – give you all the information you need to learn and make a decision about dental implants in less than one hour of reading.

Dental implants: good for your smile, good for your life

Oral health is a hot topic these days. It’s no wonder. The condition of your teeth and gums impacts every aspect of your life. Good oral health encourages improved whole-body wellbeing and reduces the risk of developing serious medical conditions linked with oral disease. People with complete, healthy smiles enjoy certain advantages in the social and professional realms, as well. They often get the promotion, land the big job, and enjoy popularity with the opposite sex.

Let’s face it. A societal bias exists against people with missing teeth. An incomplete smile is often seen as a sign of poor oral hygiene and a lack of pride in your appearance. Although the reasons for tooth loss go far beyond neglect and may sometimes be beyond your control, negative character traits are often associated with missing teeth.

If You Have Missing Teeth, You’re Missing Out on Life

An incomplete smile diminishes quality of life. People with missing teeth or a denture that slips or clicks report feeling socially isolated. Part of this isolation is self-imposed, as these individuals choose to withdraw from friends and family rather than let others see the condition of their smile. Appearance suffers as jawbone tissue shrinks in response to a lack of stimulation by natural teeth. People with large numbers of missing teeth often look as if the area between the nose and chin is caving in. And, actually, that is what’s occurring. Cheeks sink in, too, without the support that teeth provide. Eating becomes painful, and speech clarity suffers.

A Permanent Solution!

Dental implants restore incomplete smiles to transform the lives of people with missing teeth. They replace permanent teeth lost to disease, trauma, or neglect. The structure of an implant mirrors a natural tooth to provide all of the benefits of a complete smile. Implants improve the way a smile looks, feels, and functions. They help people regain control of their oral health and provide a wealth of benefits over traditional replacement teeth.

Implants are considered a permanent tooth replacement option because the titanium implant posts actually become a lasting part of your jawbone structure. People with implant-supported replacement teeth are able to enjoy active, healthy lifestyles due to the worry-free nature of dental implants. Simply put, they love their new smiles – and they love life again.
