Dental Implants

Dental implants are an advanced form of cosmetic dentistry. The implants are a permanent tooth replacement and are a popular choice for patients that do not want removable partial plates or dentures. A strong titanium post is inserted into the lower or upper jawbone to provide permanent root support. The jawbone tissue attaches to the sterilized titanium post and grows naturally creating a permanent bond and root structure. Dental implants are shaped and sculptured to resemble a natural tooth. The implants can be used effectively to replace single or multiple teeth or to provide structural support for a traditional dental bridge.

Dental implants preserve the jawbone structure, which does not allow gum shrinkage or retraction. Unlike dentures, this permanent structure functions like a natural tooth while chewing food and keeps the original contour of the face. There is no tooth slippage or shifting inside of the mouth due to gum retraction or age. Patients that suffer from denture pain or damaged mouth tissues due to refitting dentures should consider a dental implant procedure.

Dental implants need the same traditional dental care as natural teeth. Implants need regular cleanings to remove bacterial growth or plaque that leads to discoloration and potential gum disease. A major benefit of implants is that due to the artificial structure of the tooth, they are impenetrable to cavities. Our dentist acknowledges that perfect candidates for "dental implants" are those that have a healthy gum line and a supportive jawbone structure that is not infected by gum disease.
