What Are Dental Implants?
Are you missing one or more teeth? Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution for removable partials or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by dental specialists, usually an Oral Surgeon or Periodontist. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile!
Dental implants are very strong, stable, and durable and will last many years, but on occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
Benefits of and Reasons for Dental Implants:
- Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
- Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
- Restore a patient’s confident smile.
- Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
- Restore or enhance facial tissues.
- Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.
- Prevent bone loss which occurs when you lose a tooth and don’t replace it.
- A conservative solution as a dental implant does not involve changes to your adjacent teeth.
