Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium. Much like knee and hip replacements, they integrate with the surrounding anatomy to replace part of you that was lost or damaged, in order to improve your health and quality of life. Dental implants can be utilized to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth.

Good candidates for dental implants are generally in good overall health and have enough jawbone to support the implant. Patients with periodontal disease or other medical conditions may need additional treatment before undergoing implant surgery.

Dental implants can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. In fact, they are often considered a long-term solution for dental restoration. The success rate of dental implants is very high, with studies showing that up to 98% of implants remain in place after 10 years.

Benefits of dental implants

• You can smile confidently again. No more hiding your teeth when you’re talking or when you’re taking photos!
• You can chew more effectively. You won’t have to worry about what foods you can and can’t eat.
• You can speak with ease. Dental implants are securely in place so they won’t slip out when you’re talking.
• You can preserve your jawbone health. The implant stimulates your jawbone as a natural tooth root does.
