Dental implants are a popular method of replacing missing teeth. They replace the roots of teeth and provide a strong foundation for restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Replacing missing teeth not only boosts your appearance and confidence, but also is very important for your oral health. Existing teeth can begin to migrate into the gap where teeth are missing, resulting in joint pain or bite problems.
Dental implants are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone. They are made out of titanium, which is a highly biocompatible material. As a result, the implant is able to fuse with the surrounding bone for long term durability and stability.
Dental implants are a fixed alternative to full or partial dentures and provide several advantages including:
- Implants replace missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth.
- Implants improve speech by eliminating anxiety of slipping dentures.
- Implants improve chewing by eliminating no pain while chewing from sliding dentures
- Implants support bridges or dentures, making them more secure and comfortable
- Implants are more convenient- no more messy adhesives needed!
