DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implants
The Most Secure Way to Replace Missing Teeth
Missing teeth cause one to feel self conscious. Whether it’s one, several or a row of missing teeth, dental implants give you the perfect and confident smile that you deserve!
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are essentially replacement teeth made from medical-grade titanium posts. Our dentist will surgically fuse the post of the dental implants with the bone in your upper or lower jaw. Once the post is implanted, our skilled periodontist will cap the post with a tooth-colored, natural looking dental crown, bridge or denture. Dental implants will help you smile more, chew better and speak more clearly.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Candidates for dental implants must have good general and oral health due to the surgical procedure involved. One needs healthy gum tissue, no periodontal disease and sufficient bone to anchor the post of the dental implant with which will gradually fuse with the bone.
Will dental implants be successful?
Dental implants have the greatest success rate than any other surgical implant procedure. The success rate is due to the fact that the lightweight titanium posts used in dental implants fuse so easily with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. Once the procedure is done, there is no worry of the body rejecting the post of the dental implants.
What Can I Expect After the Implant?
In the weeks and months after getting dental implants, you will learn to treat them like your natural teeth. Our dentist and periodontist will work closely with you following the procedure to ensure that you maintain the best oral health.
