What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants require a minor surgical procedure, which we typically can do with local anesthetic. During the procedure, we insert the dental implant or implants into the jawbone in the space where the missing tooth or teeth used to be. This implant is left to heal and fuse to the surrounding bone tissue for a few months. At your follow up, we’ll attach a realistic looking crown that will seamlessly match the rest of your teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace one or multiple teeth. We can even provide implants that act as support for fixed bridgework or dentures, so you don’t need an implant inserted for every single tooth lost.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Feeling good about the way your smile looks isn’t the only benefit of getting dental implants. Replacing missing teeth will help you speak and eat better, and can even preserve bone material in your jaw which is at risk for deteriorating after a tooth is lost.
Taking Care of Your Dental Implants
It’s so important to take good care of your dental implants. To protect your smile and your investment, be sure to visit your dentist regularly, brush and floss daily, and avoid excessive biting, grinding, and clenching.
