Missing teeth do not only lower one’s self-esteem, they also affect one’s general well-being. This is a new and better option than Dentures or other tooth replacements.
“The most natural looking and comfortable way to restore missing teeth is having dental implants. These are one of the better treatment procedures for missing teeth in dentistry. These replace the root of the tooth, stop immature aging due to loss of tooth, and preserve the jaw bone,” says the co-founder of Fashion Smile, Persian-Filipino dentist Dr. Shahideh L. Nikbin.
Aside from looking natural, dental implants and crowns also increase bite support, improve chewing efficiency, and prevent shifting, thereby reducing stress on the remaining teeth.
“Because we fuse and integrate the implant into the jaw-bone, it acts as an anchor to support teeth and maintain the jaw bone. Bone needs stimulation to stay healthy, so an implant allows for normal function of the whole stomato-gnathic or mouth-jaw system including the nerves, muscles and jaw joints,” adds Dr. Shamsi
“We place the implant into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. It can also be used as an anchor for full dentures, to better it's function. Makes it more stable and comfortable while eating, sit is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line,” explains Dr. Farzaneh Shamsi, the esthetic surgeon and co-founder of Fashion Smile dental clinic.
Fashion Smile is confident to claim that they use of the best dental implants available, with good osteointegration. Made of pure titanium, which is lightweight, as strong as carbon steel but soft and easily formed, resistant to corrosion, environment-friendly, does not expand nor shrink easily, not magnetic, and does not change color. When properly maintained, the implant can last a lifetime.
Dr. Nikbin recommends dental implants for patients who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or other reasons.
