Implants
Dental implants have come a long way and are now the first recommendation for tooth replacement by the American Dental Association. Their longevity, as well as their support of the dental bone complex, have made implants one of the outstanding achievements of modern dentistry. (Ask me – I have one!)
Dental implants can be used to restore a single tooth or multiple teeth. They can hold crowns and bridges and can remarkably improve the fit and feel of dentures and partial dentures. Wobbly, ill-fitting, and distressing lower dentures can now be a thing of the past.
Dental implants involve the placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into the jawbone by one of the doctor's trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation for the attachment of a crown or a bridge that is custom created just for you. Some of the biggest advantages of implants are that: 1) they are more similar to your natural teeth; 2) adjacent teeth do not have to be involved in the procedure; and, 3) implants may help decrease or prevent shrinkage of your jawbone which can occur from tooth loss.
