How dental implants work?
Implants work by acting as a substitute for your natural tooth roots to allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Each implant is placed into the location of the missing tooth and allowed to fuse with the bone over a few months to provide a sturdy framework for artificial teeth.
During this time, your dentist will likely provide you with a temporary crown or denture to wear. Once the implant has fused with the bone, your dentist will remove the temporary crown or denture and can permanently fix a crown, bridge, or denture in place via an internal screw on the implant.
Benefits of dental implants
Implants look and feel like your own healthy teeth, offering a comfortable and natural solution that enhances the appearance of your smile.
Comfortable, natural look
Implants do not interfere with your lifestyle and require no extra maintenance for removal and cleaning, making them a convenient option if you’re concerned about how other options might impact your daily life.
Convenience
Dental implants are more durable than other tooth replacement methods and can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene, making them a long-term investment in your dental health. While dental implants are not a cheap treatment they are quite affordable when you consider their long-lasting results.
Permanence and durability
Implants are ideal for patients who cannot tolerate ordinary dentures or bridges due to sore spots, gagging, or a lack of adjacent supporting teeth.
Easy for denture-intolerant patients
Unlike bridges, dental implants do not require adjacent teeth to be prepared or reduced, preserving the health of surrounding teeth.
