In Houston , a leading specialist offers a technology that can make you look ten years younger. This technology comes in the form of dental implants, specifically, the Mini Dental</p> Implants.

What is a Dental Implant ?

A dental implant, in this age and time, is not news anymore. It is an artificial tooth that is rooted in and becomes part of the bone structure. In fact, it was already being used even in the Mayan civilization – and that is 1, 350 years ago using titanium replacements for lost teeth. Fast forward the time, with more advanced means and equipment, the same kind of technology replaced the use of dentures – the kind of solution that does not only bring back people's confidence in one's self but also restores their youthful appearance.

How do Mini Dental Implants bring your youth back?

Years ago, we thought that we already found the answer to help people get back their self-confidence once teeth loss sets in. Yet, what we solved was just the superficial effects of teeth loss. We, however, were not able to answer the problem of bone framework loss which leads to facial contortions. What mini dental implants do is help your dentures become more stable. The latest in the development of dental implants, these implants are inserted in the jaw bone with part of its head sticking out of the gum tissue. Its head has a screw where the denture is placed lock in. And, believe it or not, the procedure is much less painful than having a tooth extraction.

Aside from 'youth rejuvenation', what other benefits can we get from having Dental Implants ?

Teeth loss, as natural as it may seem, have detrimental effects to the body. It can lead to gum diseases and increased risk of stroke and heart attack, as research showed. Also, teeth loss cause increased stomach and intestinal disorder quite obviously because of the person's inability to chew properly. Most people who use dentures also tend to add more seasoning, sugar and salt to their food because of taste loss. This increase of amount in one's diet could lead to obesity and diabetes (for increased sugar), and high blood pressure, stroke and heart attacks (for increased salt). In addition, and the most surprising in the list of teeth loss risks, is the high risk of death due to vomiting. What we thought as a harmless phase could actually lead to serious complications in the body.

Why Mini Dental Implants?

Even though dental implants have been around for some time, what discourages people to use it is expensive and a seemingly tedious procedure that requires a long time for recovery. With the Mini Dental Implants, however, people can get a relatively much affordable deal that does not include much time for recovery. To put it in more concrete terms, if you have the mini dental implant operation in the morning (which is the usual time that the procedure is done), you can already make full use of the implants immediately at noon.
