Animated Illustration of an implant Implants X-Ray If you have missing teeth, it is crucial to replace them. Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilized your bite and cause you discomfort. When teeth are missing, your mouth can shift and even cause your face to look older. Implants are a great way to replace your missing teeth.

An implant is a new tooth made of steel and porcelain that looks just like your natural tooth. Your implant is composed of two parts that mimic a tooth's root and crown. The implant's "root" is a titanium steel rod placed into the jaw bone to act as a root. Once the rod is in place, a porcelain crown is attached to replace the top part of your tooth.

Implants may also be used to anchor dentures, especially lower dentures that tend to shift when you talk or chew. Plus, for patients with removable partial dentures, implants can replace missing teeth so that you have a more natural-looking smile.

IF YOU HAVE MISSING TEETH, CONSULT WITH YOUR DENTIST ABOUT IMPLANT REPLACEMENT PRIOR TO DEVELOPING ORAL PROBLEMS.

THE IMPLANT ADVANTAGE:
  1. When a tooth is extracted, the supporting bone will heal at a much lower level. This leaves a defect at the extraction site. An implant preserves this bone thus avoiding a defect. Fixed and removable appliances (bridge and partial dentures put heavy bonds on the other teeth and present hygiene problems).
  2. Proven track record of 90% or better success rate at 20 years. This is much better than a bridge or partial denture.
  3. Improved aesthetics since bone is preserved.
  4. Excellent clean-ability. Just brush and floss like a real tooth.
  5. Better tissue response.
