Dental implants offer a long-lasting and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants are the ideal option to restore your smile to its full potential.
A dental implant consists of a post, usually made of titanium or another biocompatible material, that is surgically placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth’s root once was. This post acts as a sturdy foundation for the dental restoration, ensuring stability and durability. After the implant is placed, a healing period is required to allow the bone to fuse with the implant post in a process called osseointegration. This fusion is crucial for the long-term success and stability of your implant, teeth and smile.
Once the healing phase is complete, our skilled dentists will attach a custom-made restoration to the implant. Depending on your specific needs and the number of teeth being replaced, this restoration could be a dental crown, bridge or even a full or partial denture. Each restoration is meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth in both appearance and function, ensuring a seamless integration into your smile.
Dental implants not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improve oral health and functionality. Unlike traditional dentures, implants do not slip or require adhesives, providing a secure and comfortable fit. Additionally, they help maintain the structure of your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often accompanies missing teeth.
Choosing dental implants means investing in a solution designed to last a lifetime with proper care. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene practices will help maintain the health and longevity of your implants.
