Dental Implants Near You
If you are missing a tooth due to trauma from injury, or due to gum disease, tooth decay, or old age, they should be replaced to restore both your appearance and functionality. Dentures and dental bridges used to be the most common replacement for missing teeth, however dental implants are now the most popular replacement option for missing teeth as they provide a long-lasting solution, slow down bone deterioration, and preserve healthy tissue.
A dental implant is a false tooth root inserted into your jawbone that holds a replacement dental bridge, denture, or dental crown. This treatment tends to be more conservative than dental bridges because dental implants don’t need to use neighbouring teeth as anchors.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and comfortable that you will likely forget you even have one. Dental implants are the most successful solution to missing teeth. Dental implants integrate into the structure of your jawbone and they work to prevent bone deterioration and gum recession that is common with missing teeth and other dental restorations.
Some benefits of dental implants are:
Cost effective
Dental implants often cost less than traditional dental bridges because there is no need for the dentist to reshape surrounding teeth.
Tooth-‘Saving’
Dental implants don’t require you to sacrifice your other teeth like a dental bridge because implants don’t need to use neighbouring teeth as anchors, providing a long-term benefit to your overall oral health.
Comfort
Dental implants allow patients to once again eat and speak with confidence. They are secure in your mouth and you won’t have to worry about them falling out as you might with dentures.
Reliable
Dental implants have a very high success rate, and they considered to be a great option for tooth replacement.
