Dental Implants

Similar to dentures, dental implants are artificial replacement teeth. They are most commonly used to fill in gaps or replace missing teeth but they can also be used to provide structure and support for the jawbone and prevent subsequent bone loss. Severely chipped and broken teeth can also be removed and replaced with a dental implant to improve the overall look of your smile and your entire facial appearance.

Dental implants are made of titanium metal alloy and inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a natural tooth, and then capped with a crown. Once implanted, they become a permanent fixture in your mouth and act just like the rest of your teeth unlike dentures, which are removable appliances. An implant creates an anchor that helps preserve the jawbone and facial structure. Dentures, on the other hand, can result in bone loss over time and lead to facial deterioration. Wearing dentures isn’t as discreet, whereas an implant uses a crown that matches your surrounding teeth so it looks just like the real thing.

Implants can last a lifetime, saving you money and energy in the long run compared to dentures. They can also look just like your normal teeth and be easily brushed and flossed like them too. Implants even feel natural, so you can easily talk and chew like normal without worrying about them falling out or moving around.
