Missing teeth can have a major impact on your appearance, ability to chew and speak, and overall health. Nothing can take the place of a healthy set of teeth; but, when disease or an accident ends in tooth loss, dental implants can offer you a look and feel very similar to your own teeth.
As an excellent option in smile restoration, dental implants are artificial tooth roots usually made of titanium, a metal proven to be biocompatible with bone and other tissues. After surgical placement beneath your gums, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw, offering stable support to naturally appearing teeth. Specific designs are planned to create individual teeth, bridges, or dentures mounted to the implants. This secure fit prevents shifting or slipping of the prosthetic appliances, an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. Great advantage is had in the fact that dental implants help to preserve the jaw bone, are easily cleaned, do not require the involvement of healthy adjacent teeth to finalize their restoration, and do not suffer from dental caries. Dental implants benefit persons who have lost one or more of their natural teeth and are not satisfied with other options. Most people can have successful implants. Successful implant therapy requires you to have healthy gums, sufficient underlying bone, be in good general health, and be highly motivated to see the process through as Dr. Rita Dargham and her team assist you in creating that “Smile You Would Be Proud To Wear…ANYWHERE!”
