Rutherford Dental Implants: Offering Comprehensive
Solutions
"This article explores the effects tooth loss has upon our self-esteem and confidence. It
then continues to discuss what dental implants are and the many benefits they offer."
Rutherford dental implants offer patients presenting with single and multiple missing teeth a
comprehensive and long-term tooth replacement solution. Our teeth, as strong and resilient
as they may seem to us, are vulnerable to general wear-and-tear, decay, dental caries and
of course, accidental trauma. Consequently, as we age (although trauma received to the
face and mouth is not age-discriminating), we may find that we start losing some of our
original adult teeth. Now, we need not think long and hard about the impacts missing teeth
have upon the aesthetics of the smile, not to mention the overall functionality of the oral
cavity as a tool for chewing and articulation in speech. It can be socially crippling. Not only
are you painfully aware that you have a ‘gappy’ smile, but struggling to eat and speak
properly also has severe impacts upon your confidence and self-esteem. The most
important advancement dental science has made in recent decades is Rutherford dental
implants, which are capable of completely restoring oral aesthetics and functionality!
Rutherford Dental Implants: How They Work
Rutherford dental implants are artificial ‘tooth roots’
made from the incredibly strong, durable, non-
corrosive and lightweight metal, titanium. The choice of
this metal in dental implantology dates back to
pioneering work done by Swedish professor and
orthopedic surgeon Per-Ingvar Brånemark, who found
that titanium displays the unique property of
‘osseointegration’. This is the process whereby a strong
biological bond with bone is established, thus enabling
Rutherford dental implants to remain ‘anchored’ in the
bone of the jaw without the support of surrounding
teeth and gums. This finding completely revolutionized
the field of both medical and dental science as it
essentially enabled surgeons and implantologists to
repair and replace bones and joints (and of course, teeth) in the human body. So, the
conception of Rutherford dental implants in the early 1950’s led to massive technological
and scientific developments in subsequent decades to the point we are now; capable of
replacing single and multiple missing teeth, even in one day:
Rutherford dental implants function much like the tooth/teeth they are replacing so
that you may return to your normal eating habits once healing has properly taken
place. They facilitate a much stronger bite force than traditional tooth replacement
technology, such as dentures.
Rutherford dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from the tooth/teeth they
are replacing: One of the main reasons patients seek out Rutherford dental implants
is to restore the aesthetics of their once full and beautiful smiles! As a result, a great
amount of precision, effort and time goes into the fabrication of each implant so that
it not only fits snugly in the jaw bone, but it is also virtually indistinguishable from
the tooth it is replacing.
Rutherford dental implants feel similar to natural healthy teeth: after healing,
typically there is absolutely no pain or discomfort in the mouth. Furthermore, being
anchored in the jaw allows them to feel as secure as their original tooth/teeth when
they were in a healthy condition.
A Final Note…
Rutherford dental implants offer patients a long-term solution to single and multiple missing
teeth that, if looked after, can last as long as 20, 30 years or more! Don’t opt for inferior
dental technology when a much improved quality of life is afforded by these ingenious
dental devices.
