Implants
Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring the function, appearance, and health of your smile. They are designed to mimic the structure and function of natural teeth, providing a permanent and long-lasting solution for tooth loss.
Here's how dental implants work:
-
Implant Placement: Dental implants consist of small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
-
Abutment Attachment: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, small connector pieces called abutments are attached to the implants. These abutments protrude above the gum line and serve as attachment points for the replacement teeth.
-
Replacement Teeth: Custom-made dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, are then attached to the abutments to complete the implant restoration. These replacement teeth are carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of color, shape, and size, creating a natural-looking smile.
Benefits of dental implants include:
-
Permanent Solution: Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a durable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.
-
Natural Look and Feel: Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
-
Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate the surrounding jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure.
-
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, which require the alteration of adjacent teeth for support, dental implants preserve the integrity of neighboring teeth.
-
Improved Oral Health: Dental implants restore chewing function and promote oral health by preventing shifting of adjacent teeth and reducing the risk of gum disease and decay.
