What Are Dental Implants?
Like a natural root, a dental implant provides the foundation for a dental crown. Implants secure down your replacement teeth in the root of your gums with a titanium post. The posts are all-natural and fuse to your bone. These screws provide a lasting anchor to your teeth, which may not ever need replacing with good oral hygiene.
Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth. They offer you a highly stable and durable restoration that looks and feels like your natural teeth.
Advantages of Implants:
- Maintains bone structure
- Prevents sagging jawbones or wrinkles
- Strengthens surrounding teeth
- Functions like natural teeth
- Improves nutrition
- Helps you look and feel younger
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Using 3D scanning technology, our dentists will evaluate your jawbone and teeth. Dr. Sutherland can plan your new teeth using CEREC digital technology. Often, you can preview your new teeth or smile.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Thanks to advances in digital dentistry, most people who have lost one, two or multiple teeth can be a candidate for dental implants. Denture wearers can replace dentures with a locked down teeth replacement option. Each patient will be evaluated for jawbone health, periodontal disease, tooth loss and other factors.
