What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is the best option if you are missing a tooth. A dental implant is a Titanium based implant that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. A dental implant helps to prevent bone loss and delivers long lasting function and beauty. It is similar to a bridge, but a better replacement because it is the most similar to a natural tooth. There are two types of implants, mini-implants and standard implants, both of which have a variety of uses. Due to advancements in technology and their popularity, the fee for dental implants is very reasonable.
The Benefits of Implants:
- Implants don’t require grinding down healthy teeth to anchor the bridge.
- Helps prevent bone loss.
- Helps keep other teeth from shifting out of place.
- Helps keep your bite correct.
- Helps prevent wearing on remaining teeth.
- Helps prevent changes in your facial structure.
- Look beautiful and are a permanent solution for missing teeth
- Can be a natural replacement for partial and in most cases full dentures.
- No more loose, ill-fitting, and uncomfortable dentures
How are implants placed:
Placement of the implants is accomplished quickly and easily in a process performed right in the office. Using a precise, minimally invasive surgical technique, implants are placed into mouth. There is very little to no discomfort following the procedure. The implant is then restored with an abutment which allows a crown to be placed replacing the missing tooth or teeth. The final result is a permanent restoration that will look and function like a natural tooth.
