Missing teeth can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy your favorite foods. If you’re looking for a long-term solution, dental implants may be the answer.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials like titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone and topped with a custom dental crown to restore the appearance and function of your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent and Durable: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
- Improved Chewing and Speech: With implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without worrying about slipping dentures.
- Jawbone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
- Consultation & Evaluation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if implants are the right option for you.
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it integrates over time.
- Healing Period: The implant fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a stable foundation.
- Final Restoration: A custom crown is placed on top of the implant, completing your smile transformation.
