What Are Dental Implants?
Replace All Teeth Permanently — Implants can support an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth that are fixed into the mouth and are never removed. Sometimes the new teeth can be supported by as few as 4 implants. It's comparable to the structure of a table, which only needs 4 legs to hold it up. In cases where jawbone density and volume have deteriorated, 5 or 6 implants might be needed to support a row of 10 to 12 teeth. Dental implant replacement teeth protect your jawbone, won't slip, and should last a lifetime.
Implants Are Believable
Implants are expertly made so they have the appearance of your natural teeth! Typically made from materials like ceramic or metal, implants won't leave anybody noticing the difference between your natural teeth.
Implants Require A Completely Safe Surgery Preparing and placing your custom-made implant(s) does require surgery, and a period of time is needed after the procedure has been completed so the implant can attach itself to the surrounding bone tissue and be anchored in your mouth for the long haul. An artificial tooth is then placed atop the implant to give the full appearance of a natural tooth so you can start flashing that beautiful smile again with confidence.
Am I A Candidate For Dental Implants?
As long as you have the right bone density in your jaw and a strong immune system, then you qualify for dental implants! Patients who are willing to maintain a strict oral hygiene regimen that involves daily brushing and flossing as well as coming into the dentist for regular check-ups are especially qualified to experience the overwhelming dental solution that is dental implants.
