What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer a revolutionary tooth replacement option that looks and feels just like your own teeth, unlike dentures or bridges.
So, what exactly are dental implants? These small, screw-like posts, typically made of biocompatible titanium, are surgically placed into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, all custom-designed to seamlessly blend with your natural smile.
Ignoring missing teeth can lead to serious consequences.
At our dental office, we understand the importance of a complete smile and are here to shed light on the potential consequences of leaving a gap unaddressed. Here's what happens if you ignore missing teeth:
- Difficulty Chewing
- Speech Impediments
- Shifting Teeth
- Bone Loss
- Gum Disease
