Dental Implants

Removable dentures can slide off when you’re eating and, sometimes, when you’re speaking. But with dental implants surgically placed into your jaw, you gain more tooth stability. In turn, you can chew, eat, and speak better and more comfortably.

Other tooth replacement options such as dental bridges require grinding down the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented on them. By contrast, dental implants don’t compromise any adjacent teeth as they are directly placed into the missing tooth’s space.

Dental implants are either made from titanium or zirconium, which are both known for being durable. Thus, with proper and regular care, dental implants will last many years, perhaps even a lifetime.

Since dental implants are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent. In turn, they eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures every night, as well as the need for putting messy adhesives to keep them in place.

When performed by a specialist, dental implant procedures have a high success rate. Clinical studies even indicate a success rate of greater than 95%—and that is higher than any other tooth replacement option.
