Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Advantages of Dental Implants:

Durability and Longevity: Implants are highly durable and can last many years, often a lifetime with proper care.

Improved Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth. They are designed to fuse with bone, becoming a permanent part of your mouth.

Enhanced Comfort: Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

Easier Eating: Implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.

Improved Oral Health: Implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.

Bone Preservation: Implants help prevent bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing, maintaining your facial structure.

Improved Self-Esteem: Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

Speech Improvement: With poor-fitting dentures, teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.

Convenience

Implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

Overall, dental implants provide a robust, aesthetically pleasing, and long-term solution for missing teeth, significantly improving quality of life and oral health.
