Dental Implants
Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may
not be your only options when replacing missing
teeth. For some people, dental implants offer
a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically
placed below the gums over a series of appointments,
implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base
for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a
denture.
Implants offer stability because they fuse to
your bone. Integration of the implants into your
jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more
natural and some people also find the secure fit
more comfortable than conventional substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy
gums and adequate bone to support the implant.
A thorough evaluation by your implantologist will
help determine whether you are a good candidate
for dental implants.
