Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent and reliable solution for tooth loss, designed to replace both the root and the crown of a missing tooth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong foundation for a dental crown. Once healed, the implant looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth, making it an ideal long-term option for restoring your smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

At our practices, we offer dental implant treatment to help patients achieve a complete, healthy, and confident smile. The dental implant procedure not only restores your appearance but also promotes oral health by preventing bone loss, which often occurs when teeth are missing.

Without a tooth root to stimulate the bone, the jawbone can deteriorate over time, leading to a sunken facial appearance and further dental complications.

Key benefits of dental implants include:

• A permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
• A natural look and feel that blends seamlessly with your other teeth.
• Preservation of jawbone health by preventing bone loss.
• Improved ability to chew and speak comfortably.
• A durable and low-maintenance alternative to dentures and bridges.

Candidates for Dental Implants

You may be a candidate for dental implants if you are missing one or more teeth and have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. Ideal candidates should be in good oral and general health and committed to maintaining excellent dental hygiene to ensure the longevity of their implants.
