Dental Implants: Nature's Rival
Now patients who are missing teeth have a strong, beautiful
alternative to bridges, partials, or full dentures. Dental
implants will improve your smile and your lifestyle. They
look, feel, and function like natural teeth because of a
titanium anchor attached to the jawbone. Implants can also
anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures to eliminate slipping.
After a thorough evaluation, your dentist can tell you whether
you’re a candidate for dental implants. They require
adequate bone structure for placement. The first stage of
the procedure involves oral surgery in which a titanium post
is implanted into the jawbone for each missing tooth or for
the new teeth that will anchor a bridge or denture. Nature
will take its course, allowing your bone tissue to fuse with
the titanium post. This creates a solid foundation.
Once the implants are secured, your dentist will attach
a handcrafted, permanent crown to each post. The restorations
will match your natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your
smile.
By imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up,
dental implants offer a prosthetic that closely mimics nature.
The result? Dental implant patients enjoy restored
function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods.
Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your new smile
will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and
improve your quality of life.
