Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are custom made to fit your mouth and become a permanent part of your jaw. A dental implant is a small titanium post placed surgically into the jaw bone. Once the implant is placed, the titanium fuses with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration. Because dental implants act as a replacement root, they stimulate the growth of healthy bone and tissue in the jaw. When a tooth is lost, the absence of the root leads to the gradual breakdown of the bone in your jaw.
Dental implants have many benefits:
Restore your smile
Replacing missing teeth will remove unsightly gaps and improve the appearance of your smile. The doctors at Excellence in Dentistry in Fort Lauderdale use the highest quality dental crowns on your dental implant so your new implant looks like your natural tooth and blends completely. Your smile will be beautifully restored.
Boost Self-esteem and Confidence
Having missing teeth can make you hesitate to smile and affect your self-confidence. Dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth as they provide a natural-looking restoration and restore function. They can also have an incredible impact on your self-confidence.
Dentures that Fit!
Implant supported dentures fit and function like your natural teeth. Because the denture is held in place by implants, they do not shift or cause sore spots like traditional dentures. The dietary restrictions of traditional dentures are gone - corn on the cob, apples, popcorn, and even steak are back on the menu! Because implants stimulate bone growth in the jaw, implant supported dentures are superior to traditional dentures which lead to bone loss.
Long Lasting Restoration
Implants are made of titanium and once fused with your bone, they should last for years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
