Now patients who are missing teeth have a strong, beautiful alternative to bridges, partials,
or full dentures. Dental implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. They look, feel,
and function like natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone. Implants
can also anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures to eliminate slipping.
After a thorough evaluation, your dentist can tell you whether you’re a candidate for dental
implants. They require adequate bone structure for placement. The first stage of the procedure
involves oral surgery in which a titanium post is implanted into the jawbone for each missing
tooth or for the new teeth that will anchor a bridge or denture. Nature will take its course,
allowing your bone tissue to fuse with the titanium post. This creates a solid foundation.
Once the implants are secured, your dentist will attach a handcrafted, permanent crown to
each post. The restorations will match your natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your smile.
y imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up, dental implants offer a prosthetic
that closely mimics nature. The result? Dental implant patients enjoy restored function, which
allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods. Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your
new smile will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your quality of life.
