Dental Implants Surgery

Replacing missing teeth promptly is essential to your overall dental hygiene, as a gap leaves the remaining teeth unsupported. If left unsupported, the remaining teeth may drift along the jaw line, reducing the spaces between them; they may become weaker, making brushing and flossing more difficult. Missing teeth can jeopardize the integrity of the jaw line and change the shape of your face. Missing teeth can make you look older and less healthy.

A very common reason people consider dental implants is because a sliding lower denture makes chewing and talking difficult. Dental implants can also replace individual teeth and partial bridges in the upper and lower jaws. The majority of patients treated with dental implants experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food and feel more comfortable.

Dental Implants are very durable and will last many years. They require the same "maintenance" as real teeth, including brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups. Dental implants can help restore almost anyone's smile even if natural teeth have been lost to injury or disease.

Our certified Implantologist can replace any number of missing teeth (even all your teeth) permanently. An anchor, such as a metal screw, is attached directly to your jaw bone. Once your jaw and gums have healed fully from implanting the anchor, the bond between the bone and anchor becomes very strong, and then a prosthetic tooth is attached to the anchor.

The prosthetic tooth is crafted to look just like your natural teeth, matching them in size, color, contour, and shape of your natural teeth. Your smile will be fully restored and may even look better than before. You will also find it easier to eat food.

Dental implants require enough supporting bone in the jaw to safely attach the anchor or anchors. Our Implantologist will be able to discern whether you have to have enough supporting bone; if you don't, a bone graft will give you the support needed.
