Dental implants have been around for about 30 years but have become more popular lately because of advanced technology and techniques. They look and feel like natural teeth so you can smile, eat, and talk with confidence. They are secured into your jaw so they act like natural teeth with a metal stem acting as a tooth root. You can’t get any closer to real teeth than dental implants.
Whether you are missing one tooth or several, dental implants can restore your smile. They are a good fit for single or multiple replacements since you can use fewer implants to replace several teeth. Implants require a good bone density but there are versions that require less. The implants are secured into your jaw and allowed to fuse with jaw bone. Then, a crown is installed on top that looks like your tooth. It is a good solution for those who want all the function and look of their natural teeth.
They are secured in your mouth so your eating and oral hygiene remains the same.
Dental implants typically last 10 to 20 years but can last a lifetime.
You will have moderate discomfort but we use local anesthetic so you don’t feel pain. Sedation is also available.
You are for dental implants the same way you care for your teeth with proper brushing, flossing, and seeing a dentist regularly.
We like for those with missing teeth to have good bone density. That may require a bone graft.
That depends on the case. One implant can be done fairly quickly while replacing a whole row of teeth can take a couple of hours.
