WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Permanent solution for tooth loss
Dental Implants are a solution to replace missing teeth without affecting neighboring teeth
Dental implants, are now, a preferred method of replacing lost or missing teeth. They can replace an individual missing tooth or be used as a foundation to replace groups of missing teeth with permanent bridges or removable partials/dentures. Implants allow us to improve chewing, speaking, and smiling- restoring a beautiful smile.
What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant acts a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone and after a period of healing a prosthetic (or false tooth) is placed atop giving the patient a natural looking and feeling “tooth”.
Why get Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most preferred and longest lasting method of replacing missing teeth. A missing tooth restored with a dental implant will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth or group of teeth. They provide stability and confidence in chewing. Implants are comfortable and provide a natural appearance. Healthy gums and adequate bone structure are both important prerequisites to receiving dental implants. Practicing proper oral hygiene and seeing your dentist/dental hygienist for exams and care are also very important to maintain your dental implant for a lifetime.
