Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are unique from the many other tooth loss solutions available due to these posts’ ability to mimic a tooth’s natural root entirely. This provides treatment for a variety of complications associated with tooth loss. Dental implants also offer long-lasting durability as their titanium material is accepted by the body, fusing with natural bone and tissue, through a process called osseointegration. 

A full, functioning jawbone needs stimulation from healthy tooth roots to maintain its proper shape and volume. The constant movements of chewing and biting allow the jawbone to support and secure healthy teeth in place. When teeth are missing, there is nothing to encourage proper stimulation, and the jawbone will begin to lose volume. As the bone weakens, it shrinks in a process called resorption. This will also dramatically affect facial structure as features begin to shift and sag, resulting in a prematurely aged appearance

Due to their ability to act like a tooth’s natural root, dental implants provide the jawbone once again with essential stimulation. Just like when natural teeth are in their proper place, dental implants enhance jaw function and strength, returning your once affected smile to its’ healthy integrity.
