What Is A Dental Implant And What Are The Benefits Of Having One?
A dental implant is a strong, permanent way to replace a missing tooth, composed of a metal post embedded in the jaw and a ceramic tooth crown, as shown in the picture. Dental implants provide the following benefits to many happy patients:
- Stable and Comfortable – No adjustments are needed after placement. Most dental implants last a lifetime!
- Prevents Jawbone Shrinkage – Jawbones will shrink when they are missing roots from natural teeth, which can age your face greatly.
- Healthy Teeth Stay Healthy – Unlike with a dental bridge, which can damage nearby teeth by using them as an anchor, dental implants stand strong on their own.
- Natural Appearance – When paired with Restorative Dentistry, your teeth’s appearance and function will be restored to their former glory, if not better!
