Dental Implants
Think of dental implants as metal anchors, usually made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to hold permanent replacement teeth of dentures. Through process called "osteointegration", the jawbone actually attaches itself to the implant over time, providing tremendous stability.
Some of the benefits of dental implants include:
- Improved biting pressure - dental implants can often restore the amount of biting pressure that can be withstood to nearly the same level of healthy natural teeth.
- Comfort and fit
- Longevity and reliability - with proper oral hygiene and care, dental implants have been shown to last as long as 20 years or more with few complications
- Increased self confidence - because dental implants function remarkably like natural teeth, most people who choose this solution find that they can again laugh, chew, talk and smile with renewed confidence.
