Quality Dental Implants

If you are missing one or more of your teeth, you are not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss due to advanced periodontal disease, injury, or severe tooth decay. In the past, the only tooth replacement options were dentures and bridges. Today, advances in restorative dentistry offer dental implants, the next best thing to your natural, healthy teeth!

What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are titanium screw-like posts that we surgically place into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a permanent and secure foundation to support one or more artificial teeth. Implants are today's gold standard for restoring missing teeth because of their strength, durability, and incredibly natural-looking and feeling results.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Candidates for dental implants need to be willing to commit to meticulous oral hygiene practices to ensure the implant procedure's long-term success. Moreover, they should be in good health and have healthy gums and adequate bone density to support the implant. Patients with bone loss may need a bone grafting procedure before having dental implants placed.

What Are the Common Implant Restoration Options?

The following are the most common types of implant restorations:

• Crowns: Dental crowns secured to implants can restore individual missing teeth. They are custom-made to look and feel just like your natural teeth.
• Bridges: Implant-supported bridges offer an excellent solution to restore two or more teeth missing in the same area of the mouth.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: These restorations offer a durable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures are secured to implants, so you can smile with confidence, knowing they will never shift out of place.

When Is the Implant Restoration Placed?

In most cases, we will secure your replacement tooth or teeth to your new implants after they have fully integrated with your jaw. At this time, we will place a connector called an abutment on the implant, and once the gum heals, we will attach your new crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile and enhance your quality of life.

What Is the Dental Implant Advantage?

Implants are the best available tooth replacement options. They are the only available restorations that mimic the function of natural tooth roots, stimulating the bone and preventing bone loss and tissue recession.

Dental implants help restore your smile's symmetry, enhance your facial features, and provide a renewed sense of self-confidence. Moreover, you'll speak with clarity and will enjoy all your favorite foods once again. Implant surgery is considered one of the most predictable and safest dentistry procedures with more than a 95 percent success rate. With proper care, your implants will continue to enhance your smile and quality of life for a lifetime!
