Dental Implants
You Deserve a Healthy, Attractive Smile
A missing tooth can cause several problems. Not only can a missing tooth affect the way you speak and eat, it can also change the way you smile, and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance. The teeth around the gap can begin to drift, causing crookedness and increasing the chance of periodontitis (gum disease). Additional tooth decay can cause you to lose even more teeth, and bone loss can occur as a result of missing tooth roots.
If you are suffering from a missing tooth, a dental implant can correct and prevent many of your dental problems. This revolutionary tooth-replacement option closely mimics the structure, appearance, and function of a natural tooth.
Dental implants are comprised of two parts. The dental implant anchor acts as an artificial tooth root within the jawbone, preventing bone loss. The portion above the gum line (called the abutment or crown) sits over the anchor, providing a perfect replacement for your tooth, as well as preventing other teeth from drifting.
In the past, people chose dental bridges or partial dentures to correct their missing teeth. These restorations prevent shifting, but they don't prevent bone deterioration, and they can break or feel unsecured in your mouth while you're speaking and eating.
Dental implants perfectly simulate your natural teeth, so much so, that many patients forget that they ever lost a tooth in the first place. Dental implants allow you to eat, brush, floss, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.
