Your teeth are an important
part of your personal appearance and lifestyle.
A beautiful smile enhances your overall presence,
and healthy teeth allow you to eat and speak with
confidence.
Healthy teeth are not something to be taken for
granted.
Cavities, gum disease, and accidents are everyday
occurrences that can lead to the loss of teeth. The
loss of one tooth or several teeth can compromise
your eating habits, speech, and appearance. In addition,
when a tooth is lost, the bone that surrounds the
tooth root can deteriorate affecting your appearance
and bite.
Fortunately, for almost 30
years, dental implants have offered a solution
for not only replacing the missing “crown” of
the tooth, but the dental root as well. Dental
implants provide a stable foundation for a tooth
replacement that looks, feels, and functions like
your natural teeth. This treatment option is backed
by several decades of scientific research and successful
clinical use.
As a result, dental implants may be just the tooth
replacement solution you are looking for.
What is a dental
implant
A dental implant is a small screw made of titanium,
which is a metal that the body easily accepts. The
dental implant is inserted into the bone of the jaw,
and over time the jawbone integrates with the implant
surface, firmly anchoring it.
Under normal conditions, the healing process can
take as little as 6 weeks. After this time, a crown,
bridge, or denture is secured to the implant.
Ask your dentist how dental implants can work for
your individual situation.
