Dental Implants Near Me

Do you have missing teeth? Dental implants can replace missing teeth
and give back lost glamour. A dental implant is an artificial root that
is permanent and stable enough to hold a crown and fit into your dental
formation. A successful dental implant procedure involves an oral
surgeon, a restorative dentist, and the patient.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw-like device that is infused
directly into your jawbone, to replace a missing tooth root. After it
has been inserted, the bone surrounding your implant will gradually fuse
to it and hold the implant steady, giving you a natural look and
feel.

An artificial tooth (a dental crown) is later fitted on top of the
implant. The crown matches the precision of your other teeth. These two,
the implant and the crown, give you a fully-fledged tooth that replaces
your missing tooth.

Types of dental implants

Dental implants offer a long-term solution to replace one or more
missing teeth. A dental implant is durable and can last longer than 10
years. Tooth loss affects your confidence, speech, and even biting &
chewing depending on the location of the missing tooth or teeth. To
replace missing teeth with dental implants, you have several
options:

Single and multiple implants

One or more titanium screws are inserted into the jawbone to support
artificial crowns.

Implant-supported dentures

Implant-supported dentures are a solution if you don’t have many
natural teeth left, but have enough bone to support implants.

Implant-supported bridges

Implant-supported bridges are sometimes recommended to restore
multiple missing teeth that appear in a row. They’re an alternative to
individual implants for each tooth.

Dental implants have many advantages such as improving your bite and
chew, cosmetic improvements and boosting your confidence, among others.
