About Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These small titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as sturdy anchors for prosthetic teeth. Dental implants offer several advantages, including:

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like real teeth, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.
• Durability: They are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Improved Oral Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
• Enhanced Functionality: You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants are a suitable option for most individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons. Good candidates generally have healthy gums and adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implant.

What is the implant procedure like?

The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps, including a consultation, implant placement surgery, and the attachment of a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. It is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is quite simple. You should maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption for the best results.

Are dental implants affordable?

While dental implants represent a significant investment in your oral health and quality of life, they are cost-effective in the long run due to their durability. We offer financing options to help make dental implants more accessible to our patients.
