- Dental Implants
- Dental implants are the ideal choice for replacing missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts that are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. After the bone heals around the implant and a solid foundation is established, a crown is then fabricated to fit the titanium post. The result is a very natural, long lasting, and functional replacement for missing teeth. Most importantly, the surrounding teeth are not altered as in other treatment options. Although dental implant treatment may initially be more costly than other treatment options, it frequently turns out to be the best investment from a long term perspective since most patients can expect them to last a life time. Other treatment options such as bridges and dentures often require regular replacement as often as every 5 years and need frequent alterations. In the case of dentures, implants can be used to secure the denture in place rendering them immovable in the oral cavity until removed by the patient.
