Dental Implants

If you've recently faced the challenges of an injury or illness that took a toll on your oral health, there's good news. The path to restoring your once-beautiful smile is now within reach.

How do Dental Implants Work?

A dental implant is like a small metal post, usually made of titanium, that takes the place of the missing root of a tooth. Your dentist will then add a new tooth on top of this post, which can either be fixed in place permanently or taken out if needed. Permanent replacement teeth are more stable and feel very much like your natural teeth. Discover the transformation dental implants can bring to your smile.

An ideal candidate for dental implants:

Is a non-smoker

Has maintained good oral health

Has healthy gums with no signs of gum disease

Single or Multiple Dental Implants

Dental implants are incredibly adaptable. If you're missing just one tooth, a single implant and a replacement tooth can solve the issue. For several missing teeth in a row, a few well-placed implants can provide strong support for a permanent bridge. Likewise, if you've lost all your teeth, a complete bridge or denture can be securely attached in your mouth using the right number of implants.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures and Bridges

Unlike bridges and dentures, dental implants don't just sit on top; they become a part of you. This ensures they feel stable and natural, just like your own teeth. You'll regain the confidence to eat and smile without worry. What's more, implants are tough cookies with a powerful biting force. They don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, which is great news for your overall oral health. Plus, they're built to last a lifetime, while bridges typically give you around seven to ten years, even less if a root canal is needed.

Taking Care of Your Dental Implants

Treat your new dental implants as you would your natural teeth. Give them the care they deserve by brushing and flossing at least twice daily. Don't forget to schedule regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist. The more diligent you are in caring for your implants, the better their chances of serving you for a lifetime.
