Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are integrated into your bone. This is the most significant dental innovation of our generation.
Dental implants improve your appearance, confidence, and overall health. They can last a lifetime and allow you to have an active lifestyle. Implants are the only treatment that stimulates bone growth. Other restorations, like dentures, let the jawbone deteriorate.
A dental implant can eliminate the embarrassment of a missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even all the teeth. For anyone who loses an adult tooth or several teeth, dental implants can be the solution to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing tooth
Dental implants are implanted right into your jawbone. This creates a strong foundation for the crown. They are as strong as your natural teeth.
The success rate of dental implants varies, depending on various circumstances. In general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. There are over 3 million Americans who have dental implants, and that number is growing by 500,000 each year.
Zirconia dental implants best resemble your natural teeth and are more aesthetic. However, titanium implants are less expensive and much stronger.
With proper care, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime! Bridges, crowns, and dentures only last 5-10 years. They will last longer than natural teeth if they are taken care of properly.
