Total Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants
Whether you're looking for total tooth replacement or partial tooth replacement, dental implants are a remarkably effective tooth replacement therapy for most people of virtually any age. A dental procedure that anchors a new, "artificial tooth" using a surgically-placed titanium post, implant dentistry is considered a "modern miracle" by those with missing teeth that are now able to smile and eat the foods they love again.
We have used dental implants to replace a single missing tooth, to replace an entire mouthful of teeth, and to support and lock-in a new set of dentures. Most patients can greatly benefit from the placement of dental implants and, for these patients, the advantages of this procedure, relative to comfort and lifestyle, are extraordinary. However, not everyone is a viable candidate for dental implant therapy, and should consult a prosthodontic specialist for an evaluation and alternatives.
Advantages of Dental Implant Tooth Replacement Therapy
- Implants help restore proper chewing function, allowing you to eat the foods you’ve always loved.
- Dental implants prevent bone loss and jawbone shrinkage by "mimicking" the roots of natural teeth.
- Fixed in place: implants do not move or loosen.
- Implants are the most authentic replication of your natural teeth in terms of look, feel, and functionality.
- No gooey, unpleasant adhesives.
- No unsightly hooks or clasps that place damaging pressure on remaining natural teeth.
- Elimination of gum pain and irritation.
- Through Osseo integration (the fusing of bone to the titanium implant), dental implants actually become part of your body.
