Reasons to Consider Dental Implants

When both the tooth and root are damaged, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown. This solution both looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

• Without the root structure of a natural tooth the jawbone can shrink making your face look older. An implant is stable and comfortable, and there are no loose parts.
• Normally, it will serve its owner for life.
• Dental Implants LOOK and FEEL like natural teeth.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth.

Many people who consider implants have removable dentures for lower and upper jaws, or conventional bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.
