Dental Implants

Dental implants are metal posts implanted into the jaw bone to replace teeth lost due to injury or decay. The post acts as a "root" for a prosthetic tooth. Implants can also be used to secure dentures and bridges, so they fit more securely and with more comfort inside the mouth.

​Implants can be made in any shape or size and implanted anywhere in the mouth where a tooth is missing or damaged. There can be many advantages to dental implants, including:
  • Improved speech
  • Easier chewing
  • Increased comfort
  • Improved appearance

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants

Dental implants are safe and effective for most people. If you are medically able to undergo an oral surgery procedure and have enough healthy bone tissue to hold the implant, you can usually be considered for dental implants.

​Dental implants require regular dental care and a commitment to continued oral hygiene on your part. 

Longevity of Dental Implants

With correct care, implants can last as long or longer than natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which rest on top of the gums and must be replaced anywhere between 7 and 15 years, dental implants are long-term substitutes surgically fit directly within the jawbone. The materials used for the post and crown are extremely durable. However, the surrounding gum needs to be cleaned with meticulous care as it can still become infected. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will be needed to ensure the longevity of your implants and overall oral health.
