Are dental implants the right choice for you?
If you have one or more missing teeth, due to an injury or tooth extractions, dental implants may be a viable option for restoring your smile. Dental implants are very common, and are often the best option for replacing your missing teeth.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root portion of a missing natural tooth. When placed, it will permanently fuse with the jaw bone and form a strong anchor for a replacement tooth.. Dental implants are often topped with a dental crown, restoring function and providing a natural appearance for tooth replacement. Implants can also be used to stabilize dentures.
Without treatment for your missing teeth:
Your remaining teeth may shift
Your bite may become misaligned, leading to jaw problems
Your jawbone can shrink
Your face shape may change, causing an aging appearance
Not all treatments for missing teeth will offer the same benefits. Dental implants are unique because compared to other treatment like dental bridges or dentures they:
Offer a longer lasting solution to missing teeth
Prevent jaw bone loss and preserve facial appearance
Preserve the health of your gums and adjacent teeth
Look and feel like natural teeth
