Dental implants offer a reliable and long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional advantages. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, several teeth or an entire arch, dental implants can rejuvenate your smile and enhance your oral health.
The process of getting a dental implant starts with the placement of a titanium post into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. This post serves as an artificial root, anchoring the replacement tooth securely in place. Titanium is chosen for its biocompatibility, meaning it integrates naturally with the bone, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for the implant. Over time, the jawbone bonds with the implant in a process called osseointegration, which is crucial for the long-term success of the implant.
Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, a custom-made dental restoration is attached to the implant post. Depending on your specific needs, this restoration could be a dental crown, a bridge or a full or partial denture. Each restoration is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable and natural-looking result.
One of the key benefits of dental implants is that they help maintain the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and helping to preserve your facial structure. With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, making them a valuable investment in your smile.
