Dental Implants
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that acts as a foundation for a crown or denture where teeth are missing.
How will I benefit from dental implants?
- You will have the ability to smile
- You will speak clearly
- You will be able to eat many foods (including apples) with confidence
- You will bite with the same force on the implant restoration as you do with your natural teeth
- You may notice an improved structure and profile of your face
- You will be able to maintain strong and healthy bone
- Dental implant placement helps to avoid unnecessary cutting down of your other teeth to support a bridge or crown
- You will avoid problems with sensitivity or tooth decay
