Dental Implants

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are completely unlike any other alternative to replace a missing tooth. Unlike bridge work that involves drilling down surrounding teeth, a dental implant is securely inserted into the bone and acts like its own root system. The titanium post is biocompatible and safe. You won’t need to wear a removable appliance and can benefit from a permanent, lasting smile.

Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to decay, periodontal disease, an injury, failed root canal, or root resorption. Dental implant treatment has a high success rate of 95 percent -the highest among restorative dentistry.

Do missing teeth need to be replaced?

Absolutely! Missing teeth affect the way you speak, eat and smile. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants will restore your ability to speak naturally, bite down on a steak with confidence, and smile freely. The main advantages of replacing missing teeth with dental implants include:

Dental Implants increase jawbone strength

Dental Implants Are Longer Lasting

While dentures and crown and bridge work has to be replaced every several years, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. Even if the outer crown needs to be replaced the titanium root remains securely in place for life.

Dental Implants Increased Jawbone Strength

Beyond restoring a patient’s natural smile, dental implants offer medical benefits such as increased jawbone strength. Dental implants are designed to promote jawbone growth in the areas where they are placed. Over years and decades, missing teeth can lead to jawbone deterioration and recession. Through a process known as osseointegration, the bone fuses with the dental implant and stimulates bone growth around it for the life of the implant.

Dental Implants Restore Your Natural Smile

Dentures are prone to slipping and are often visible to others. Dental bridges can become discoloured and unnatural over time. Dental implants are the only tooth restoration treatment that leaves your artificial tooth looking identical to its neighbours. That is because the tooth is permanently affixed to the jaw, matching the contour of the surrounding teeth. Furthermore, the ceramic crown is custom made to match your other teeth, both in color and shape.

Dental Implants Restore Chewing Function

Chewing is an essential function of the mouth that breaks down food so it can be properly digested. Proper chewing function can be hindered when teeth are out of alignment or missing. Dental implants sit firmly in the jaw, restoring natural chewing abilities so you can eat anything you like!
