A more permanent alternative to dentures or partials, dental implants are artificial tooth replacements. Today’s dental implants techniques offer a wide range of tooth replacement solutions, including:
Single-tooth dental implants are, by far, the most popular and effective type. It matches the size, shape and strength of your natural tooth. First, we place the implant (or artificial root) into the bone under local anesthesia. Once the implant integrates with the jawbone, it is ready for the placement of a restoration or artificial tooth. The process usually takes about four to six months.
With the exception of your own teeth, nothing looks more natural than a beautiful crown supported by an implant. Dental implants and mini-dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacements ever devised. One important benefit of dental implants and mini-dental implants is that they slow the shrinking of bone (resorption) and gum tissue from the area of the missing tooth, thus preventing the sunken-face look of premature aging. About half of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 are missing at least one tooth.
