| Human teeth are unique in the fact that once a child’s baby teeth fall out, they are replaced with adult teeth and if they fall out at any point afterwards it is permanent. Teeth play an important role in breaking down foods to aid in the digestion process. So, if one’s teeth were to fall out, digestion would be much more difficult and food would no longer be something that brings enjoyment. As such, it is no wonder why teeth have been recognized as important to maintaining good health, and in the past they have even been referred to as one of the Five Blessings. |
| Due to the advances of prosthetic dentistry, it is fortunate that teeth can now be repaired using the original teeth as well as performing procedures to help with mastication by repairing the surrounding tissues. However, these general medical treatments cannot be carried out without causing at least some damage to the existing tooth, its surrounding gums or the bone structure. And, the continued use of dentures can lead to decreased chewing ability, feelings of being uncomfortable and feelings of having a foreign object in your mouth. |
| One solution to these problems is a universal medical treatment known as an artificial tooth transplant. This procedure does not cause any damage to the tooth or the surrounding tissue and with the ability to recover all its abilities and appearance as natural as the original tooth, the artificial tooth transplant can surely be considered a milestone in modern day dentistry. |
| If reparation of a tooth is not possible due to the loss of many other teeth, bad decay or gum disease, the old procedure was done by extracting the tooth and eliminating part of the surrounding teeth to create a prosthetic that can sit among the teeth or be mounted using dentures. |
| However, implants do not damage any of the surrounding teeth since the procedure involves inserting implants made of titanium directly onto the gum bones and using an epochal treatment that helps patients live with the look and feel of their natural teeth. |
