Dental Implants

The Closest You Can Get to Your Natural Teeth

A Replacement Option That Looks, Feels, and Works Naturally

Dental implants are the closest tooth replacement option you can get to your natural teeth. They help you eat confidently, laugh, talk, smile, kiss and enjoy all of your everyday activities without having to worry about your teeth.

What is a Dental Implant?

Simply put, dental implants are screw-shaped artificial tooth roots. When placed in your jawbone, they attach to your natural bone and become a secure base for supporting one or more crowns.

An abutment is inserted on top of the dental implant to support your crowns, which are custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Modern implants have been used successfully for over 30 years and are the strongest devices available to support replacement teeth, allowing them to look, feel, and work naturally.

Who Can Benefit From Dental Implants?

Dental implants can benefit adults of all ages, whether they were born without a tooth or have had to have teeth extracted due to infection, decay or injury. They can also be used for adolescents after facial development and growth has been completed. This typically occurs around the age of 16 for females and age 18 for males.

The Top 4 Advantages Of Dental Implants

Here are four important advantages of implants as compared to alternatives such as bridges and dentures.

They will boost your self-confidence.Your implants won’t click or slip when you eat, laugh or talk. Your speech will be more natural, and you’ll have the self-confidence to say what you want to say, be as active as you want, smile broadly, and eat the foods you love.

You’ll look and feel great.Dental implants look, fit, function, and feel like your own teeth, and they’re so comfortable that you won’t even think about them. Because there is no need to remove them to cleanse them, you can floss and brush them just like you do your own teeth. They also help you retain your natural smile and face shape.

They provide protection for your healthy teeth.Empty spaces in your mouth can lead to health problems such as jawbone deterioration. Implants are the only tooth replacement option that prevent bone loss and help stimulate bone growth.

They’re durable and long-lasting.Dental implants that are cared for correctly can last decades. Most other options – such as dentures and dental bridges – may need replacement as often as every 5 to 10 years, costing you more time and expense.

When inserted by a trained implant dentist, this surgery is one of the safest and most reliable techniques in dentistry. If you would like to know if dental implants are an option for replacing your missing tooth (or teeth), contact us today to schedule a consultation.
