What is a dental implant?

There are many situations or conditions that can lead to tooth loss or decay. When a tooth is missing, damaged, or diseased beyond repair, it can be necessary to replace the tooth. While there are many options, implants are a well-regarded and strong method popular with many people. A dental implant is a titanium piece that is inserted into your jaw, serving as a solid anchor over which a replacement tooth can be placed. This anchor and replacement tooth are quite strong, functioning and looking like a healthy tooth. In fact, they look and feel so similar that most people cannot even tell the difference. 

Why choose dental implants?

If you are missing teeth or have damaged teeth, you know that it can affect you in many ways. They may be painful or get in the way of chewing effectively. In addition, you may feel hesitant or self-conscious to show your smile, limiting your confidence. Dental implants not only function much the way teeth do, but they also appear the same, restoring your confidence in your smile. In addition, when compared to other options, dental implants can feel more secure and natural. 

They can also help to maintain the health of your mouth by preventing deterioration of your jawbone or movement of nearby teeth. In addition, because of their design, dental implants can serve as an anchor for dentures.
