Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to permanently replace teeth that are missing or cannot be saved. They serve as root replacements to support crowns, bridges, or dentures to restore optimum function and prevent future bone loss to the jaw and adjacent teeth.
Over the last couple of decades, dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry. They are now considered the ‘standard of care’ in replacing missing or soon-to-be missing teeth. With an implant, a person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and smile confidently. Thanks to implants, teeth appear natural, and facial contours are preserved.
Dental implants serve the same function as your natural tooth roots, providing a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implants are tiny titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing, just under the gums. The jawbone bonds with the titanium, creating a solid foundation for artificial teeth. The tooth is then ‘restored‘ or brought to function by attaching a crown. In addition to restoring tooth function, implants can help prevent bone deterioration, which occurs when teeth are missing, thus preserving facial structure.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! People are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life.
