ImplantsToday's dental implants are changing the way people live! With implants, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to smile, eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. A person with implants regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours have been preserved. Implants consist of small 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 to restoring a natural appearance in the mouth, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration, which typically occurs when teeth are missing. Implants completely simulate a natural tooth in form and function. Placing implants involves a surgical procedure that replaces the missing teeth. A titanium cylinder secured in the bone functions as the root of your tooth. Then a crown, attached to the titanium cylinder, is attached to the cylinder, giving the appearance of a natural tooth. A dental implant is ultimately a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. Implants are often the first choice when replacing missing teeth because they are so strong and natural in appearance.
