Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Improved Comfort: Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
• Enhanced Speech: Unlike poorly fitting dentures, dental implants allow you to speak without worrying about teeth slipping.
• Better Oral Health: Dental implants do not require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. This means more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
• Durability: Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures and the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.

The Dental Implant Process:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, we will evaluate your dental and medical history and take necessary X-rays or 3D scans.
2. Implant Placement: The implant is placed into the jawbone surgically under local anesthesia. Healing time varies, but it generally takes several months for the implant to fuse with the bone.
3. Abutment Placement: Once the implant has integrated with the bone, an abutment (a small connector post) is attached to the implant. This will hold the replacement tooth securely.
4. Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to the abutment. This replacement tooth will match the color and contour of your natural teeth for a seamless look.

Is Dental Implant Right for You? Dental implants are a great option for most adults in good health. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant.
