If you are embarrassed or self conscious about missing teeth or wearing dentures, there's an alternative that could be right for you, dental implants. Dental implants can replace missing or badly diseased teeth. Dental implants provide comfort and stability by functioning exactly like a natural tooth.
What is an implant?
Implants are manufactured "anchors" that look like cylinders or screws. They are artificial replacements for natural tooth roots. They are made of titanium and other materials that are well suited to the human body. Implants attach to the upper or lower jaw bone to become a stable base for one or sometimes more custom artificial replacement teeth, called dental crowns. Dental implants can also be used to support a partial or full denture.
People of all ages have benefited from the replacement of missing teeth through dental implants for decades. The biggest benefit most dental professionals hear from patients is finally being able to chew their favorite foods again and it be completely comfortable! Implants can also provide a more youthful look by filling out the face that otherwise could look sunken in because of missing teeth. Another benefit that implants provide is, they are brushed and flossed just like natural teeth. No more taking out dentures or partials to soak and clean and no more adhesives.
