Dental Implants
Along with bridges and dentures, implants are a way to replace any missing teeth. A major benefit to implants is that it is a permanent solution. An implant is an artificial tooth that is secured by an implant. Implants are titanium cylinders that are placed in the jaw bone and serve as the root of the tooth. Unlike bridges, no other teeth are affected during this process.
Implants are virtually indistinguishable from other natural teeth and is custom fit that your bite is not altered and therefore, your ability to chew and speak remains the same if not better. Due to the way they implant is constructed, natural bone loss that occurs when there is a missing tooth is lessened; therefore, an implant is the next best thing to one's natural tooth.
There are many considerations to take into account when deciding whether or not an implant is the most appropriate way to go; therefore, please contact us to schedule a consultation or call with any questions.
