Losing teeth can be an emotionally and physically devastating experience, especially as we age. Not only does it make us self-conscious about our appearance, but it can also make eating and speaking difficult. Fortunately, dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth that can restore both our function and our confidence.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are made of a titanium alloy that is compatible with human bone and can fuse with the jawbone over time. Once the implant has bonded with the bone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of it. The abutment is then used to support the replacement tooth or bridge.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer many benefits over other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. First and foremost, they are permanent, which means you won’t have to worry about them slipping or falling out at inopportune moments. They also feel and look more natural than other options and can be cared for just like your regular teeth. Additionally, dental implants help to preserve your jawbone by stimulating healthy bone growth. This is important because when you lose a tooth, the bone begins to deteriorate. Over time, this can cause your face to appear sunken in and can lead to further health problems. Finally, dental implants are simply more comfortable than other options and allow you to eat all of your favorite foods without limitations. 

If you’re missing one or more teeth, don’t despair! Dental implants offer a permanent solution that can restore your smile—and your confidence. Made from titanium alloy, dental implants fuse with your jawbone over time and provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Best of all, they look and feel natural and allow you to eat all of your favorite foods without restrictions. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call today and let us help you transform your life!
