| Dental Implants
A
dental implant is a synthetic root positioned into the jaw bone
to provide a stable foundation for tooth attachments. Unlike the
bridge, an implant is an independent restoration that does not
rely on adjacent teeth.
Implants recreate the ability to chew and enjoy food, while eliminating
the inconvenience and embarrassment associated with removable teeth.
Though the implant requires surgery, it is an excellent alternative
to a bridge, as it does not rely on neighboring teeth. |
The
ideal candidate for a dental implant will be in good oral health,
free of periodontal disease, possessing healthy gums, and having
adequate bone in his or her jaw to support the implant’s
artificial root.
These
are just a few of dental implant’s advantages:
- They have an extremely natural look and feel
just like real teeth!
- They won’t interfere with neighboring teeth.
- They’re permanent and stable
- They have an extremely high success rate, and are considered
an excellent option for replacing a tooth.
