Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. This metal anchor acts as a tooth root substitute.
The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. This process, known as osseointegration, is key to the success of dental implants. After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, a small connector post — called an abutment — is attached to the post to securely hold the new tooth. To make the new tooth or teeth, your dentist makes impressions of your teeth, and creates a model of your bite. The replacement tooth, or crown, is then attached to the abutment.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The process of getting a dental implant is a multi-step journey that ensures a stable and long-lasting result. It typically involves a comprehensive consultation, the surgical placement of the implant, a healing period for osseointegration to occur, and finally, the attachment of the custom-made crown. Our team will guide you through every step, ensuring your comfort and a successful outcome.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that mimics the root of a natural tooth, providing unparalleled stability and preventing bone loss in the jaw. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, without the worry of slippage or discomfort.
They also do not require altering adjacent teeth, which helps in preserving your overall oral health for the long term.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants comes with a multitude of advantages for both your oral health and overall quality of life. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth.
- Prevents Bone Loss: They stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs with missing teeth.
- Durability: Implants are very durable and with good care, can last a lifetime.
- Enhanced Comfort: Since they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
- Easier Eating: Function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence.
