Dental Implants

What is a dental implant?

Tooth replacement services have improved a great deal over the past few decades. Today, dental implants provide patients with the opportunity to replace missing teeth in a way that achieves permanent, fixed results. Implants themselves are not designed to replace missing tooth structure. These titanium posts, inserted into healthy jawbone by your experienced dentist, replace the missing root.

Advantage of Dental Implants

The progression of dental techniques and materials has significantly improved the look and feel of dentures. However, only dental implants will replace missing roots. As such, dental implants most closely mimic the overall structure of natural teeth. When teeth are replaced with dental implants and crowns, a bridge, or full denture appliances, functionality and aesthetics are restored to such a degree that even implant patients forget their teeth are not completely natural.

Cost of Dental Implant Treatment

The cost of implant treatment will vary, depending on the number of missing teeth that require implants. Cost is also dependant on the nature of the individual patient’s case. Some patients may require adjunct procedures to address bone loss before implant placement can be performed.
