Dental Implants
Today, if you lose one or more teeth, you have options beyond dentures. Dental implants offer a replacement method that mimics Nature’s perfect design, for a comfortable, beautiful replacement tooth. You won’t have to worry about removable prosthetics and the special cleaning and adhesives required to maintain them. A dental implant looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth so you can smile with confidence.
What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant consists of a titanium post and handcrafted dental crown. During a short oral surgery, the post is inserted into the jawbone, under the gum line. As the implant heals, your bone naturally fuses with the post creating a solid foundation. Because the implant is placed directly into the jaw, you care for just like your natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
There are numerous benefits to dental implants over other replacement tooth options. Because dental implants replace the tooth “root”, jawbone atrophy stops. Dental implants can also be used to anchor other prosthetic teeth such as dentures and partials for a more comfortable, slip-free fit. Dental implants also return your ability to chew your favorite foods and allow you speak more clearly.
