Implants

:: IMPLANT: WHAT IS IT? ::

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury or some other reason. Dental implants are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Under proper conditions, and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.

Dental implants are so natural in look and feel, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!

:: ADVANTAGES OF IMPLANTS::

Every way you look at it, dental implants are one of the best solutions to the problem of missing teeth.

Aesthetics
Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent bone loss and gum recession. No one will ever know that you have a replaced tooth.

Tooth-saving
Dental implants don't sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth, as neighbouring teeth are not altered to support the implant. Your own teeth are left untouched, which is a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!

Confidence
Dental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence! They are secure and offer freedom from the irksome clicks and wobbles of dentures. They'll allow you to say goodbye to worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.

Reliable
The success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.

:: ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS? ::

The ideal candidate for a dental implant should have good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant. The best candidates have healthy gum tissues, that are free of periodontal disease.
