Dental implants from Park Avenue Dental offer reconstructive dental solutions to patients who have lost teeth for any number of reasons. Our implants are custom-created to match your smile. Dental implants offer a sturdy and permanent solution for those looking to restore their smile.
What are Dental Implants?
Also known as endosseous implants or fixtures, dental implants are surgical components, usually made of titanium, that replace the roots of a tooth. By being bonded with the bone of the jaw, these fixtures support dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. Dental implants give you the strength of a natural tooth root and restore your smile to the brilliance it once was.
The types of implants include full upper replacement, anterior replacement, full lower replacement, and single tooth replacement. Dental implants upgrade the dental health of patients suffering from missing teeth or who struggle with traditional dentures.
How do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are appliances that are implanted directly into the jaw. They are sturdy and function just like a normal tooth. Dentists prepare the area of the mouth for the implant by removing the decayed tooth. After the area is sufficiently healed, the dentist then prepares the jaw bone for the implant. The implant is then placed, and the dentist creates a tooth mold to match the existing surrounding the teeth. This process can take several months but provides a permanent solution to missing teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants look and feel just like natural teeth because they are custom-made to fit your mouth. They also fully integrate with the bone in order to retain the highest levels of strength and security. In addition to restoring your smile, dental implants offer many other benefits including:
- Elevated self-esteem
- Improved appearance of the mouth and smile
- Eliminated speech problems
- Supported facial skeleton and soft tissue
- Improved eating abilities
- Long-term oral health
- A permanent solution as opposed to dentures
