Dental Implants
A Dental Implant is an artificial
tooth root that is placed into your jaw bone to hold a
replacement tooth, bridge or denture. Dental Implants
are an ideal option for people in good general oral
health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to
periodontal disease, an injury, or some other
reason.
While high-tech in nature, Dental
Implants offer a more conservative approach to tooth
replacement than traditional bridgework, since implants
do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
Dental
Implant technology advances at a very rapid pace.
Procedures that took many months only a couple of years
ago can now be completed in ONE visit and can be done
with minimal postoperative discomfort. For more
info, please read about our "Teeth-In-An-Hour"
technology.
Dental Implants can be very
natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever
lost a tooth. Since Dental Implants are so versatile in
nature they can be utilized for all kinds of tooth
replacements, such as single tooth replacements,
bridges,
overdentures, of even fixed full-arch
replacements. Under proper conditions, and
diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a
lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving
success rates for implants, in fact, Dental Implants
enjoy some of the highest success rates we have in
dentistry today.
Since
this is a rather extensive topic, we have provided many
links to several sub-topics of Implant Dentistry, as you
can see in the right-hand column. You will always
find a button that links you back to this main page,
however.
