The familiar smell lets you know that it\u2019s summer, but if you\u2019re without a full set of teeth, you have to miss out on many of the tasty delights. Thankfully, there is a way to enjoy the many summer foods \u2013 with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.njsmile.com\/implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> placement. As you continue reading, learn about this breakthrough in tooth replacement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Made from the highest-grade titanium, dental implants are cylinder-shaped posts that mimic the function of the original tooth root. The implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone, which they will fuse with over the next few months to create a sound and lasting foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With dental implants in Edison, you can replace any number of missing teeth, which further displays the procedure\u2019s versatility. Here are some of the basic steps of the implantation process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Initial implant placement<\/strong> \u2013 Once the implants are in place, you\u2019ll need a few months to heal and for the posts to fuse with the existing bone (referred to as osseointegration).<\/li><li><strong>Addition of the abutments<\/strong> \u2013 Titanium abutments are attached to the implants and serve as anchors.<\/li><li><strong>Placement of the final restoration<\/strong> \u2013 A custom restoration (crown, implant-retained bridge or denture) is securely affixed to the abutments to leave a fully restored and functional smile.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Dental Implants Allow You to Eat More Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re able to eat from a wider selection of foods with dental implants because they aren\u2019t subject to slipping and sliding in your mouth like other tooth replacement methods. That\u2019s because implants don\u2019t rely on other teeth or the suction inside your mouth to maintain their position. By being secured through the fusion (osseointegration) process, they provide a high degree of functionality. In fact, you can expect to regain up to 75% of your original chewing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you can indulge in corn on the cob, juicy steaks, burgers, hot dogs and all the other delights that you may have otherwise had to pass up. That\u2019s one way to make summer a lot more enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Other Advantages of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With effective dental hygiene, which should include brushing and flossing at least two times a day, your dental implants can last up to a lifetime. By taking this route, you\u2019ll have many more blissful summers ahead of you. To get the implant process started, reach out to a dentist in Edison to request an initial visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. David S.
