Why Choose Dental Implants
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, creating a stable foundation that functions just like natural teeth. This integration also helps prevent future bone loss. Dental implants also don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, meaning your surrounding healthy teeth remain untouched and strong.
The Dental Implant Process
Implant treatment is completed in stages to ensure the best long-term results. It starts with a small titanium screw, surgically placed into the jawbone. There, it acts as a replacement tooth root. Over the following few months, the bone naturally fuses with the implant, a process called osseointegration. The last step is when your general dentist attaches a custom crown for a natural look and feel.
Long-Term Benefits
Dental implants allow you to normally eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence, and without worrying about slipping or discomfort. They can last for decades, making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available. Best of all, implants require no special maintenance. Simply brush, floss, and visit your general dental office for regular check-ups as you normally would.
