Missing or broken teeth can affect a person's appearance, level of self-confidence, and even his overall health. When teeth are missing, it can often cause the area around the mouth to look more sunken-in and tired, and fine lines and wrinkles will develop around the mouth, adding years to your appearance. Implants are the ideal solution because only do they look and feel indistinguishable from any other tooth. They do not fall out or need to be removed, and can be cared for in the exact same way as your natural teeth.
Implants aren't just for the ladies anymore! Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular long-lasting solution for people with missing teeth. Statistics show that nearly 70% of adults aged 35 to 44 years in the United States have at least one missing tooth due to an accident, tooth decay, gum disease, or dental fractures. So what the heck is a dental implant? A dental implant is actually a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. They are made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body. Titanium and titanium alloys are the most widely used metals in both dental and other bone implants, such as orthopedic joint replacements. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal disease.how does the whole process work?
At Dental 2000, we offer a no charge consult to our patients interested in dental implants. During this consult, our team of specialists can determine if you are indeed a good candidate for implants and from there determine the type of implants best suited for you.
Upon accepted treatment, an appointment is scheduled to begin the process by placing the titanium into the jawbone as a replacement root. This takes about 4-6 months to heal properly and have the bone fuse around the replacement root.
When you need a dental implant, don't settle for anything less than the best. Dental 2000 features state-of-the-art technology, a highly trained and compassionate staff, and the most relaxing environment you'll ever find at a dentist's office. We specialize in bringing you quick and pain free implants at an affordable price, allowing you to change the way you look at dentistry and giving you the smile you've always dreamed of for yourself.
Benefits of dental implants
- Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
- Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
- Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
- Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
- Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
- Improved oral health. Dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
- Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
- Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
