While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Esthetic<\/strong><br \/>\nDental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tooth-saving<\/strong><br \/>\nDental implants don&#8217;t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Confidence<\/strong><br \/>\nDental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence! They are secure and offer freedom from the irksome clicks and wobbles of dentures. They&#8217;ll allow you to say goodbye to worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reliable<\/strong><br \/>\nThe success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What are the benefits to replacing missing teeth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.<\/p>\n<p>Dental implants are changing the way people live! With dental implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is involved in placing implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, surgery is performed to place the anchor. Surgery may take up to several hours and up to six months may be required for the bone to grow around the anchor and firmly hold it in place. Some implants require a second surgery in which a post is attached to connect the anchor to the replacement teeth. With other implants, the anchor and post are already attached and are placed at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>After the gums have had several weeks to heal, the next step is begun. The artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor.<\/p>\n<p>Implant surgery can be done in a dental office. A local or general anesthetic may be used.
