What are dental implants?
Modern dental implants are small titanium screws that replace and function like natural tooth roots. Dental implants are gently placed during a surgical procedure. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. They are made of a material that is not harmful or toxic to living tissue, your body will easily accept them.
Dental implants are widely considered to be the most successful method of tooth replacement used today, benefitting patients in a number of ways.
Dental implants offer you many advantages
A healthy natural-looking smile
Modern dental restorations supported by dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth
Restored appearance
One of the immediate benefits of dental implant therapy is that your lips now receive the support they were missing, which gives you a restored facial appearance
Renewed eating and speaking
With the stability provided by dental implants, eating and speaking are often improved. Foods that were once difficult to eat can be put back on the menu.
Stable and comfortable fit
Dental implants are fixed in your jawbone, providing more stability and comfort. This is true for both removable and fixed dental implant restorations.
A long-lasting and proven solution
Dental implant and solutions are very durable and easy to maintain.
With proper care and good oral hygiene, your new dental implants and attached restoration will last many years – or even your entire lifetime.
In 1965, the first patient was treated with modern dental implants. Since then, dentists all over the world have successfully placed millions of implants.
