Dental
Implants
|
A single implant can be made when adjacent
teeth are healthy and in place.

If
you face the loss of one or several teeth or if you're
dissatisfied with dentures or other option available
to you, you may find that dental implants are right
for you. Age is not typically a major factor: successful
dental implants have been performed on young people
as well as the elderly. During your initial consultation,
we'll look for the following characteristics:
The procedure
and follow-ups are often performed in the dental office
using local anesthetic. Depending upon your individual
situation, other types of anesthesia may be used to ensure
your comfort.
Dental implants
offer a natural looking, comfortable, permanent solution
to replacing missing teeth. Implants can also be utilized
to replace a single missing tooth, support a bridge or
secure a denture. |

A fixed bridge abutment or "crown and
bridge" is often used when a crown can anchor
the prosthesis in combination with an implant.

Think
of dental implants as metal anchors, usually made of
titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone
to hold a permanent replacement teeth or dentures. Through
a process called "osteointegration", the jawbone
actually attaches itself to the implant over time, providing
tremendous stability.
Benefits
of Dental Implants:
Because dental implants are patterned
after the structure of your natural teeth, they provide
a highly stable support system for the replacement teeth
or dentures. Other benefits include:
-
Improved
biting pressure
Heathly teeth are able to absorb over 500 pounds of
biting pressure per square inch. If you've worn dentures
for a long time, that pressure may be diminished significantly,
to one-tenth that of natural teeth. Dental implants
can often restore the amount of pressure that can
be withstood to nearly the same level of healthy natural
teeth.
-
Comfort
and fit
Because your replacement teeth are anchored securely
to the implants in your jawbone, they can't slip and
slide like unsecured dentures can. When dentures aren't
secure enough, they often cause sores in the mouth
and an annoying clicking sound.
-
Longevity
and reliability
With proper oral hygiene and care, scientifically
tested and approved dental implant systems have been
shown to last as long as 20 years or more with few
complications.
- Increased
self-confidence
Because dental implants function remarkably like natural
teeth, most people who get them experience a renewed
sense of self-confidence once they realize they can
chew, talk, laugh and smile with confidence
We
are excited to offer this advanced dental restoration
alternative to you. It is an important part of our commitment
to help you keep a healthy, great-looking smile for
a lifetime.
