Dental Implants

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a popular and highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as the tooth's root. Once this post has fused with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown is attached to the post to replace the missing tooth.

The success rate for dental implants is high, and they can potentially last a lifetime with proper care, including regular dental checkups and cleanings. They provide a stable, durable foundation that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.

Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

Implants offer several key benefits over traditional options like bridges and dentures, preserving both your smile and jaw structure.

  • CheckmarkDurability and Feel: They are strong, durable, and look and feel like natural teeth.
  • CheckmarkJawbone Preservation: Implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the shrinking and changing of shape that occurs after tooth loss.
  • CheckmarkPrevents Facial Collapse: Stops the jawbone loss that can lead to a sunken appearance in the face.
  • CheckmarkStable Solutions: Fixed and non-removable, unlike traditional dentures.
  • CheckmarkProtects Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants do not require adjacent teeth to be altered.
