Dental implants can help you smile more!

Dental implants can help you look better, eat better, and feel better.  More than a million have been successfully placed in North America.  That’s a lot of smiles! If you’ve been considering implants, here are a few of the most commonly asked questions.

What is an implant?  An implant has two parts a biocompatible metal root and a custom-made tooth which is attached to it.  Underlying bone is prepared to accept the root which becomes part of you jawbone.
 
How do I know if implants are for me?  Implants are so versatile that they can replace one or more teeth, support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture, or provide support to make a complete denture more secure and comfortable.

Will my implants look natural?  Completely natural.  You can eat, speak, and socialize with ease.

Are implants safe?  Definitely.  Implants have been used for about 35 years, and patients can expect a 98% success rate.

Do implants require special after-care?  No. They require the same home care and regular dental visits as natural teeth.

Are age and health important factors?  Age is not a factor.  Most people in good overall and oral health excellent candidates for implants.
 
How long will implants last?  Implants are designed to be permanent, and more than 90% last for twenty years or more.

Bone loss in your jaw will always follow the loss of a tooth.  Dental implants can help you avoid facial changes, speech changes, and diet changes that take place over time as teeth shift, jawbone recedes, and in extreme cases, cheeks take on a collapsed look.  Dental implants can replace those lost teeth and help you look great.  Here are some reasons why dental implants are now the treatment of choice for many people who need to replace missing teeth.  Tooth implants:

1. Require only normal brushing and flossing for maintenance
2. Are anchored permanently in your jaw bone
3. Preserve and strengthen the underlying bone just like the roots of your natural teeth
4. Do not alter or compromise healthy adjacent teeth
5. Require no plates that can affect comfort and fit
6. Can replace the form and function of only one tooth or two, or can replace teeth in an entire jaw
7. Can anchor dentures to prevent shifting, or replace partial dentures and bridgework
8. Are without any age barrier
9. Are safe and reliable (hundreds of thousands are placed every year – all over the world)
10. Look completely natural so that no one will know you have them…unless you tell!
