Dental Implants
For our patients, dental implants offer the most satisfactory and permanent method of replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are so comfortable and natural, it’s like you never lost any teeth at all!
How Do Implants Work?
The first step is to place a thin titanium post in the bone of the jaw. This post will act as the anchor for the replacement tooth (the crown). In some cases, a temporary crown can be attached to the implant immediately after the implant has been placed in the jaw.
In other cases, it is best to let the jawbone bond fully with the titanium implant first. When that is done and the crown has been manufactured, it is securely attached to the dental implant. Your tooth replacement is complete!
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
A dental implant stimulates the bone of your jaw just like a natural tooth would. This helps keep the bone healthy and strong.
Additionally, with implants, you can replace a single tooth without altering the shape of the teeth on either side of the missing tooth like you would with a bridge.
A dental implant is also the most natural-looking and long-lasting method of tooth replacement.
