Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jaw. The implant functions as the tooth root. A connector (abutment) is used to attach a crown or the denture to the implant.
Why dental implants?
Patients who have dental implants describe a quality of life that is much more comfortable and secure than the problems encountered by those with bridges or removable dentures. The elimination of day-to-day frustrations and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures, and restricted diet are the two main benefits. Bridges are susceptible to decay, gum disease, and bone loss causing early bridge failure.
Implant versus Bridge
Implant versus Bridge
The adjacent teeth are ground down to accept a traditional bridge. With dental implants the adjacent teeth remain untouched.
Long gaps of missing teeth may be replaced by multiple implants.
