DENTAL IMPLANTS
What to expect
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials like titanium that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for artificial teeth and consist of three main parts: the implant fixture, abutment, and dental crown. The fixture acts as the root, the abutment connects the fixture to the crown, and the crown is custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth. Dental implants are the peak result of what our modern technology can deliver. Dental implants can function 99% as close to a real tooth as possible and last you potentially a lifetime if well-taken care of! Dental implants offer a long-lasting and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, providing patients with durability and comfort. Implant placement starts at $1500.

What happens when you are missing a tooth?
Our mouth is in such a delicate harmony that a small difference can lead to a big change. If you have ever had braces, changing of the bite over time will feel like a subtle but noticeable difference in terms of how it feels when you bite down. A high dental filling or incompletely adjusted dental restoration will give you huge discomfort when biting down even though the adjustment that may be needed could be a fraction of a millimeter! When a tooth is missing, that harmony in our mouth is interrupted that big noticeable changes start to happen. Adjacent teeth start to shift their position, or opposing tooth can start to overerupt into the empty space. This unnecessary shift in teeth can cause a gap to start forming between existing teeth and makes it easier for food to get stuck that can lead to cavities or gum disease. Moreover, the shifting of the teeth can make the existing teeth’s jaw support weaker that can lead to loss of other teeth. The best way to prevent all these issues is to replace a tooth within first 6 months of it being extracted. To learn more, call, email or book an appointment with us!
