Dental Implants

A popular and effective dental treatment for missing teeth, dental implants will restore your smile and allow you to eat and talk freely once again. Unlike bridges and dentures, implants are permanently anchored in place with a post that mimics the tooth root. This ensures stability and a more natural, long-lasting result. Implants also offer many benefits, including a more natural appearance and function and convenience you can’t get with dentures or a bridge.

Dental implants are a long-lasting, durable treatment for tooth replacement that can replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or complete arches of teeth. The dental implant post is a screw made of titanium, which is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. It replaces the missing tooth root and ensures that your dental restoration is secure and stable.

Once the implant has been placed in your jawbone, a period of healing is often required to allow the bone to start bonding with the biocompatible post.

Following this healing period, your dentist will place an implant restoration, which is the replacement tooth, on top of the implant post. Depending on your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a crown, a bridge, or a complete or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically.

Replacing a missing tooth doesn’t just enhance your appearance. It can restore your smile to optimal health and function as well. Patients enjoy the many benefits of dental implants, especially that they look, function, and feel just like natural teeth. Not to mention, with proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
