What is Implant Dentistry?
Implant dentistry is the practice of replacing lost or extracted teeth with permanent, aesthetically-pleasing, fully-functioning alternatives. Dental implants are tiny titanium fixtures that are placed into the base of the upper or lower jaw, where there is no tooth or teeth. The jaw bonds to the titanium creating a rigid foundation for artificial teeth, bridges or dentures to attach to. Moreover, dental implants also help preserve the patient’s facial structure by preventing the natural bone deterioration that is associated with having missing teeth. There are a myriad of advantages to having dental implant surgery including:
- Dental implants resemble and feel like the rest of your teeth.
- Implant dentistry is undetectable
- The bonding of titanium directly to the jaw prevents further structural complications
- Your adjacent teeth are not compromised for support as each implanted tooth is structurally supported on its own
- Confidence; dental implants allow patients to speak & eat comfortably once again
- Dependability; dental implants have been an excellent treatment option for several years now, allowing for a predictable outcome and result.
