What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that fuses to the jawbone, mimicking the root of a tooth. They are designed to replace the tooth in various aspects, such as sensation and function like a natural tooth, giving the patient the ability to eat practically everything and smile with confidence.
Why dental implants?
-
- The chewing sensation is similar to that of a natural tooth.
- Protects natural teeth by avoiding the removal of adjacent teeth for conventional bridge work.
- 98% of implants osseointegrate or successfully bond to the bone.
- With proper care, your implants will last a lifetime.
- It has been shown that they decrease, halt, and even reverse bone loss in adults.
- Dental implants improve the appearance, speech, chewing ability, and, above all, the patient's oral health.
- They also improve facial contours by minimizing premature wrinkles.
