What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium screw-like tooth root replacements that provide a secure foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth made to look just like your natural teeth. No other type of restoration compares to dental implants and the superior results they deliver.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are today's gold standard for restoring missing teeth. They are the only restorations that act like natural tooth roots, stimulating the bone in the area and preventing bone loss. With implant restorations, you won't have to worry about dentures shifting or slipping. You'll speak with confidence and will bite and chew with ease. Best of all, you'll maintain your natural facial structure and your youthful, confident smile.
Implant surgery is a highly safe and predictable procedure, with more than a 95 percent success rate. With proper care, your replacement teeth have the potential of lasting a lifetime!
What Are the Types of Implant Restorations?
Here are the most common types of implant restorations:
- Single Tooth Implants: A dental implant provides a secure and stable foundation to support a dental crown, fully restoring the form and function of a single missing tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant-supported bridges are secured to dental implants, restoring two or more neighboring teeth with unmatched comfort and stability.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures offer an incredibly stable and durable alternative to traditional dentures when it comes to replacing several teeth or an entire arch of teeth.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
To be a candidate for implants, you must have healthy gums and adequate bone mass. However, if you've been missing one or more of your teeth for some time and have suffered bone loss, that doesn't necessarily mean that dental implants won't work for you. You may first require a bone grafting procedure to ensure the implant’s success.
Caring for Your Implant Restorations
You need to be willing to commit to meticulous oral hygiene practices to ensure the success and longevity of your dental implants. Make sure to brush and floss regularly, and visit us for routine dental exams and cleanings twice a year. That will ensure that your oral health and implant restorations stay in tip-top shape.
