    What Are Dental Implants?

    Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder-shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth.

    If an implant has a screw thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. Having a dental implant fused to the jawbone is the closest thing to mimicking a natural tooth because it stands on its own without affecting the nearby teeth and has great stability. Once fitted, Implants provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges, or dentures.

    Benefits Of Dental Implants

    • When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb disappear over time. When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow & mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels.
    • Implants help restore function so you can eat, chew, and bite as usual.
    • Implants are a natural looking way to replace missing teeth.
    • Implants can be considered as the “Second Permanent Tooth”.

    Denture Stabilization With Dental Implants

    If you have loose or ill-fitting dentures, your ability to eat or speak may become affected. Thanks to advances in dentistry, there is a new procedure whereby your denture can be fixed to your jaw with dental implants.

    This treatment, known as implant overdentures or denture stabilization, offers patients with dentures a more permanent solution and can improve their quality of life significantly. You will be able to enjoy your favorite foods again and feel comfortable when smiling, safe in the knowledge that your dentures are staying put.
