WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS? A dental implant is an artificial root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling you may forget you ever lost a tooth. They are intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone in the mouth. Advantages of dental implants over dentures or bridges: Every way you look at it, dental implants are better solution to the problem of missing teeth. Esthetic: Dental implants looks and feel like your own teeth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth. Tooth saving: Dental implants don’t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long term benefit to your oral health. Confidence: Dental implants will allow you to once again speak, eat and laugh with comfort and confidence. They are secure and stable. Reliable: The success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.
