The Only Permanent Tooth Replacement Option

Teeth go missing for many reasons. They are extracted by a dentist, they fall out because of illness, or they get knocked out due to injury. Regardless of the cause, a missing tooth can have significant effects on your oral health, not to mention the look of your smile. Fortunately, patients with missing teeth have tooth replacement options, and none is more effective, longer lasting, stronger, and more natural looking than a dental implant.

Why Choose Dental Implants

Whether you are looking to replace a single missing tooth or several, dental implants can work for you. A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically anchored to your jaw bone. Once placed, it acts just like a tooth root and a permanent crown or denture can be affixed to it. The result is sturdy, durable, and natural-looking and can last for decades or even the rest of your life.

Advantages of Dental Implants:

• Built to last – Dentures and bridges are not designed to last more than 10 years on average. Dental implants can last 20+ years, even a lifetime, with proper care.
• The only tooth replacement option that actually prevents bone loss – Because the titanium post eventually fuses with the jawbone like a natural tooth would, it provides stimulation, encouraging blood flow to the area, which keeps the bone healthy.
• Flawless, natural-looking results – The titanium post provides the perfect base for a crown or denture that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. No one will even know it’s there, unless you tell them, of course.
• No special maintenance, no special cleaning procedures – Because Dental Implants become a permanent part of your smile, they only require normal brushing and flossing to maintain.
• Restore full bite strength and function – With Dental Implants, your mouth can be fully restored so that you can eat anything you want without having to worry about damage or discomfort.
