Dental implants, a whole-tooth replacement<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019ve lost a tooth, you\u2019re missing the visible portion as well as its root. So why would you choose a fixed bridge or non-implant supported denture, which only replace half? Dental implants provide a comprehensive replacement — giving you back the missing crown as well as its root. <\/span><\/p>\n

How dental implants work<\/span><\/h4>\n

Dental implants are sort of like little screws. Tiny and titanium, they\u2019re inserted directly into the space left by each missing tooth — and during a recovery period of about six months, your jawbone slowly fuses with the titanium. It\u2019s a process known as osseointegration, and it\u2019s what makes the new tooth replacement as sturdy as your natural teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dental implants require plenty of supporting jawbone structure for successful anchoring. If too much has been lost due to tooth loss, bone grafting can help. Additionally, patients must be in solid oral and overall health to be considered for dental implants — those with advanced stages of gum disease, HIV or diabetes are generally not good candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n
