WHAT ARE
Dental Implants?
Dental implants are tiny, titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Over time, the implants fuse with the jawbone to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth to attach to at the gum line. Implants are one of the only permanent tooth replacement methods in dentistry and they’re popular among patients and doctors alike.
BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Wondering if implants are the right tooth replacement method for you? Here are just some of their many benefits:
- Dental implants, paired with tooth restorations, look, feel, and function similar to natural teeth.
- The implant posts stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone deterioration.
- There is no additional maintenance required when it comes to implants. Brush and floss normally.
- You don’t have to stress about your replacement teeth moving or falling out. With implants, you can rest easy knowing that your false teeth are securely in place.
- Implants can prevent your cheeks and lips from appearing aged and sunken.
- With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime!
Tooth Restorations
FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS
Single-Tooth Replacement
Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that attach to a single implant using an abutment (connective piece). Crowns are a natural-looking, durable tooth restoration that can easily fill in single-tooth gaps. We handcraft your crown to look just like your natural teeth, so most people won’t even be able to tell the difference!
Multi-Tooth Replacement
Dental bridges are dental prostheses with crowns on each end and false teeth attached in the middle. They can replace multiple missing teeth in a row. The crowns on a bridge connect to implants on both edges of the empty space so that the replacement teeth rest snugly where your missing teeth once were.
Dentures have realistic-looking, gum-colored bases with false teeth attached to them. Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported dentures easily snap onto implants for a comfortable fit. They won’t slip or slide throughout the day and they’re easy to take on and off!
