Get your confidence back
Losing one or more of your teeth starts a chain of events that can have dire physical and cosmetic consequences. The mostobvious result is a gap in your smile. Less obvious is the loss of chewing function and the inability to eat a complete diet thatcan result from tooth loss. While these are certainly serious issues, a potentially bigger problem lies hidden beneath the surface: bone loss.
Your jawbone needs the chewing action of the teeth to stimulate it and keep it strong. Otherwise it will begin to disappear (atrophy) in the same manner that the unused muscles beneath a cast supporting a broken bone get smaller. Without thesupport of your teeth and facial bones, your face will begin to look prematurely aged. The good news is that toothreplacement with dental implants offers a solution to help prevent bone loss.
Dental Implants are an alternative to dentures and bridges. This involves the placement of an artificial tooth without affecting the adjacent teeth. Implants are long lasting and aesthetically indifferent to natural teeth.
The most common type is a titanium screw that is anchored into the jawbone where it serves as post for a custom-made tooth crown. Once the crown is in place, you may not be able to tell it apart from your natural teeth. Please ask our experienced team for more information.
