Nothing can take the place of a heathly set of teeth, but when disease or an accident ends in tooth loss, it's good to know that there are options for restoring your smile. If you are sel-conscious because you have missing teeth or you wear dentures - there is a wonderful alternative: dental implants.
What is an implant?
Natural teeth need the support of bone in your jaw. When you lose a tooth, the bone has no more use and shrinks and weakens. To maintain the jawbone, implants (a cylinder) are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw and function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body.
Benefits of an implant:
- Like the roots of natural teeth they perserve the jawbone and keep it healthy.
- Strong, comfortable and secure
- Stops teeth from shifting and maintains a stable bite
- When the restoration is in place, it looks and feels like natural teeth
