What Are Dental Implants?
Dentists typically recommend dental implants as the way to replace missing or damaged teeth, as they restore a more natural, healthier smile. Simply put, dental implants are bio-compatible posts affixed to your jawbone to replace the roots of a missing tooth. Implants are designed to attach to your jawbone and become the foundation for a dental crown that is attached to the implant above the gumline. Dental implants can also be used to replace multiple teeth with bridgework. Dental implants are typically made of titanium, as it is lightweight and strong so they are accepted by the body. They are completely safe, effective, and the perfect way to improve your smile permanently.
Some of the benefits of dental implants include:
- Better functionality to speak and chew
- Younger appearance due to supporting your facial structure
- Improved self-confidence when you smile
- Comfortable and undetectable compared to your natural teeth
- They are a permanent solution that you can “set and forget,” unlike dentures which require constant upkeep
WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
A dental implant is a synthetic tooth root created with a special titanium alloy. We use the same titanium alloy that is used in other replacement surgeries because the material can fuse directly with your bone. We combine dental implants with porcelain crowns to create a beautiful, natural looking, functional tooth.
Dental implants are the best restorative dentistry option for missing teeth because they replace both the tooth root, and the surface area of your tooth.
WHY CHOOSE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Your jawbone needs tooth root support to stay strong. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone underneath the gap will start to deteriorate. Dental implants prevent this deterioration by providing your jaw with the same support that your natural tooth root provided before your tooth loss. Implant dentistry is the only restorative option that replaces the tooth root.
Dental implants look natural and beautiful. The crown is specially created for each patient to provide perfect occlusion and function.
Patients with dental implants look and feel healthier. With their smile restored, their confidence and happiness increases.
Our dental implants are completely comfortable. They feel just like your natural teeth!
