How Dental Implants Can Change Your Life Get That Smile You’ve Always Wanted
Many people benefit from dental implants. Not only do they give people self-confidence through a beautiful smile, they can prevent many other oral health problems. With implants, people don’t have to hide behind their hands or feel embarrassed when they laugh or smile — it’s life-changing. None of this would be possible without a significant contribution to dental science by Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark. Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark of Sweden made dental implants possible. Prior to his work, it was considered common knowledge that no outside material could successfully fuse with bone. This changed in 1952 when Dr. Branemark, conducting orthopedic experiments on a rabbit legs, discovered that titanium was not rejected by the bone. Although he wasn’t a dentist, the orthopedic surgeon’s innovative research led to the creation of dental implants, bringing better smiles to millions of people around the globe.
which allowed him to eat and speak normally for the first time — abilities he was able to retain for the rest of his life. Dr. Branemark’s research and determination to pursue his passion led to many other successful implants. Larsson was just the first of many who would benefit from his groundbreaking research. Implants not only help patients regain the confidence to smile and laugh, but they also restore overall oral health. Many patients who are suffering from broken or missing teeth will finally enjoy biting into an apple or chewing on a steak with no pain or discomfort. Dental implants are stronger than a dental crown and look exactly like natural teeth.
