DENTAL IMPLANTS
Despite improvements in dental care, millions of Americans suffer tooth loss mostly due to tooth decay, periodontal disease, or injury. For many years, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. But, today, dental implants are available. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.
A dental implant procedure is an outpatient surgery.
The implant is made of titanium and other materials
that fuse with your jawbone and imitate the root of a tooth.
This artificial root allows the dentist to secure your
replacement teeth so they feel stable and blend in
with your surrounding teeth.
There are many advantages to dental implants, including:
Improved appearance
Improved speech
Improved comfort
Easier
eating
Improved
self-esteem
Improved oral health
Durability
Convenience
