INTRODUCTION TO DENTAL IMPLANTS:

Dental implants are titanium artificial teeth root that are placed into the jaw bone to serve as a tooth or bridge replacement. Dental implants are an ideal option for people who have lost one or multiple teeth due to periodontal disease, trauma or some other factors.

Dental implants have decades of research and perfected scientific research behind its durability and success rates. Dental implants allow you to save your natural tooth structure by avoiding bridges, since dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

Dental implants look and feel as natural as your original teeth. They feel so natural you may forget you ever lost a tooth!

Your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself. And that confidence affects your quality of life. Possibly you hide your smile because of spaces from lost or missing teeth. Maybe your dentures or partials don’t feel secure and you are always fearing them coming off. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing and tasting food. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to get back the confidence your natural teeth provided, to be able to speak and eat again with comfort, dental implants are teeth replacements that can look, feel and function like your own! With the right clinician, such that by Dr. Naim can offer in experience, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies show outstanding success rates for dental implants. Like natural teeth, brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist regularly are essential to the success of dental implants. We, along with your restorative dentist, will provide long-term maintenance of your implants.

WHAT DENTAL IMPLANTS CAN DO?

• Replace one or more teeth without affecting the adjacent teeth.
• Replacing a series of teeth eliminate the need for a removable partial.
• Provides support for a denture, making it more secure and strong

ADVANTAGES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS OVER DENTURES OR A BRIDGE:

Dental implants integrate into the bone structure
Every way you look at it, dental implants are a better solution to the problem of missing teeth.

• Esthetic: Dental implants have the look and feel of your own teeth. Dental implants integrate into the bone structure, preventing bone loss and gum recession. This is a common downfall of having bridgework and dentures.
• Tooth Saving: Dental implants don’t sacrifice the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the missing teeth like a bridge does. Because the teeth next to the space are not altered to support the implant, your own teeth are left untouched.
• Confidence: Dental implants can secure dentures in place, giving you the confidence to smile, speak and eat with comfort and confidence! Like a snap of a button, implant abutments can be made to snap in the opposing part inserted in a denture. No more messy pastes and glues.
• Reliable: Today, the success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered the best option for tooth replacement. There is no option for replacing a missing tooth or teeth or securing dentures as reliable as dental implants.
