What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants replace missing teeth in the most organic way possible, resulting in a fully functional and barely distinguishable permanent prosthetic.

The key to dental implants lies in a tiny piece of titanium that the dentist embeds in your jawbone. Because the metal eventually integrates with the body and has been shown to not result in any allergic or otherwise adverse reactions, it is an ideal choice when it comes to replacing a tooth.

Because of it’s ability to attach and fuse to bone, the implanted titanium metal can act basically the same as a tooth root. Once the implant area heals, a dental crown can be fitted over the titanium, seamlessly hiding the sub and creating a beautiful and functional result.

Why should I choose Dental Implants?

The most important reason to choose dental implants is that they are a healthier option for the mouth as a whole. The dentist always leans toward the more organic, less harmful treatment because one can never be sure what unexpected future effects could result from willfully damaging a tooth.

Dental Implants are also uniquely designed to take care of situations in which a patient is only missing one tooth. Dentures might be an inexpensive treatment, but partial dentures are difficult to fashion and awkward to wear. Bridges are typically only preferable when three or four teeth are missing in a row.

However, this is only general guideline. Come to see us so our doctor will give you professional recommendations for the best procedure for you. Not everyone’s mouth may be suited for every treatment possible.
