Dental
implants are permanent replacements for missing
teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, a very pure
metal which is readily accepted by the human body.
Dental implants consist of three
parts:
1. The Anchor or Root
2. The Abutment or Connector
3. The Crown or Tooth
The titanium implant is surgically placed into
your jawbone and actually stimulates your bone to attach to it. This process
is called osseointegration.
After the implant is fully integrated into the bone, the abutment is attached
and the final restoration is placed. Dental implants can be used to replace a
single missing tooth or they can support bridges and even complete dentures.
Eating with dental implants feels like eating
with your natural teeth because the implants are firmly anchored in your jawbone.
Patients with dental implants report that it's like getting their own teeth
back.
If you want a second chance at a healthy smile, if you want the confidence of
eating and smiling without worrying about loose dentures, then ask us about Dental
