Why Our Doctors Would Recommend a Dental Implant

Dental implants are designed to provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. These new teeth have many benefits, including:

• Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants provide a natural appearance and feel, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth. The crown, which serves as the visible part of the tooth, is custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
• Long-Term Solution: Unlike some traditional dental solutions, such as dentures and bridges, dental implants offer a long-lasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, implants can endure for many years, often a lifetime.
• Stability and Functionality: Dental implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, providing exceptional stability. This ensures that the replacement teeth function just like your natural teeth, allowing you to bite, chew, and speak with confidence.
• Preservation of Jawbone: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can start to deteriorate over time. Dental implants mimic the natural tooth root, stimulating the jawbone and preventing bone loss.
• No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which may require the alteration of adjacent healthy teeth for support, dental implants stand independently. This preserves the integrity of neighboring teeth.
• Improved Speech: Ill-fitting dentures or missing teeth can impact speech. Dental implants provide a stable foundation, eliminating concerns about slippage or mumbling, thereby enhancing your ability to speak clearly.
• Ease of Maintenance: Dental implants are cared for just like natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are usually sufficient to maintain the health and longevity of your implants.
• Enhanced Oral Health: Dental implants don’t rely on support from adjacent teeth, which means your remaining natural teeth are preserved. This contributes to better overall oral health.
• Boost to Self-Esteem: A complete and aesthetically pleasing smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem and confidence. Dental implants offer a cosmetic solution that goes beyond just functional benefits.
• Versatility: Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even provide support for full arches of teeth, making them a versatile option for various levels of tooth loss.

The Anatomy of a Dental Implant

There are three parts that make up a dental implant.

• The implant: a titanium screw, which is surgically placed into the patient’s jaw bone where the original tooth used to be
• The abutment: a small piece that insures a snug fit
• Crown: the top part of the tooth, which is attached to the implant and matches your natural teeth
