A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth root used to anchor a crown. If you’ve recently lost a tooth, our dentists can help you restore your smile.
We understand that you depend on your teeth to smile, talk, and eat with confidence. This is why we often recommend the dental implant procedure to those who qualify.
Your first step is to request a consultation with one of our dentists. That way, we’ll be able to determine if you’re a likely candidate.
To be a candidate for dental implants, you must have enough bone density in your jaw. That way, there’ll be enough tissue to support the implants. You must also have a healthy immune system to qualify for the procedure.
A is more likely to fail if you smoke. This is why candidates for dental implants are often non-smokers. Smoking can interfere with your jawbone’s ability to fuse to the dental implants. Dentists call this process “osseointegration,” which often takes several months.
Dental implants help you avoid further tooth loss, ill-fitting dentures, and facial collapse. Not to mention, you will feel so much more confidence with dental implants that don’t slip when you eat and talk. Request an appointment with our dentists today to learn more.
Losing one tooth puts you at a higher risk of losing more. Your body is able to sense missing teeth. As a result, your body will start to absorb minerals from your jaw to use elsewhere. Once this happens, your jaw loses its bone density and its ability to support teeth. Teeth next to the empty space will also start to tilt toward the gap until they loosen and fall out.
