For many adults, having dental implants is the next best thing to having natural teeth. When you lose your teeth as a result of a traumatic injury, decay, or an illness, it can hurt your self-esteem. Strong, durable, and aesthetically attractive, dental implants help restore the simple confidence that comes with having natural teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium post that's surgically anchored to your jawbone beneath the gum line. This screw-like post acts as the root of your new tooth. Once the post has been installed and your mouth has fully healed, a process that generally takes a few weeks, the dentist will mount a custom-made crown (replacement tooth) onto the metal post.
The implants fuse to your jawbone, so they are strong, stable, and don’t shift in your mouth.
These posts also help other dental work, like bridges and dentures, stay firmly attached to your jaw.
In addition to looking, feeling, and functioning like your natural teeth, dental implants offer the following advantages:
And, at Montrose Dental Group, the dentists are exceptionally experienced in implants, so you can rest assured you’re getting the highest quality materials and standard of dentistry.
Whether you're missing one tooth or multiple teeth, you may be an excellent dental implant candidate. Your jaw must be finished growing, and your gums must be healthy. Dental implants are an excellent solution for adults, but not children.
You may also be a prime candidate for implants if you're fed up with uncomfortable dentures, or it's time to replace a bridge or partial dentures. Men and women who desire a more durable, long-term answer to dental work problems may be suitable candidates for implants. Meet with your dentist to learn more about your options for missing teeth and to see if implant treatment is the best solution for you.
It's time to take the first step toward a more confident smile and a more confident you. Call Montrose Dental Group today.
