Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered by most dentists to be the longest lasting, strongest, most durable and most predictable option to replace missing teeth. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry has stated that implants are the “next best thing to healthy, natural teeth” and have the lowest failure rate of any procedure we do in dentistry!
The implant itself looks like a small screw and once it is securely placed into the bone, it functions as the foundation for beautiful porcelain crown. Implants can be used to anchor restorations of all sizes, from single crowns, to bridges, to dentures. These restorations are matched to your teeth they can make your smile better than ever!
Are you a good fit for dental implants?
Getting an implant does require an initial surgical procedure where the implant is carefully placed. Following this, you will wait a few months while the bone heals around the implant before the final restoration can be placed.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a candidate. For an implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene and are not recommended for smokers. Implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last a long time.
