The best tooth replacements are dental implants. 

For natural looking and functioning teeth, implants are a smart investment.

One of the best permanent solutions to missing teeth is dental implants. It’s best not to have spaces between teeth as they shift and cause more problems. Dental crowns and bridges are long-lasting solutions to missing teeth, but for a permanent, more natural-feeling, and hygienic treatment, implants are a smart investment.

What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are a restorative dentistry treatment designed for missing teeth. Accidents, gum disease, genetics, medical complications, and lack of oral care can all potentially cause your teeth to fall out or be removed due to infection.

Our implant dentist can restore your missing teeth with a fixed implant bridge or a single dental implant. Each one has three parts:

• A titanium root surgically implanted in the bone
• A crown made to look and feel like a real tooth
• An abutment to connect the root to the crown

Many people prefer dental implants because they look, feel, and perform like natural teeth. Like your natural tooth root, the titanium post holds the tooth securely in place and helps maintain bone strength. The bone bonds with the titanium root, creating a strong base for the replacement tooth.

When Are Dental Implants Ideal?

While dental implants are designed to last forever with the proper upkeep and provide a natural-looking solution to missing teeth, it is necessary to have good bone health for the procedure.

The placement of the implant means the titanium post implanted into the bone should be done so within healthy bone tissue that exists below the gums. Even if you suffer from a weak bone, some methods, like bone grafts, are available to strengthen the bone to make you an implant candidate.

Mini Implants

Mini implants are used when a patient’s bone is a bit thin or deteriorated. These implants work the same way, but the titanium root is significantly smaller. Mini implants are an ideal solution for replacing smaller teeth, like incisors.

Using the most recent advances in implant placement, dental technologies and working closely with our high-quality laboratory, we’re confident that we will help you decide if this treatment method is ideal for you.
