Dental Implants for Single or Multiple Tooth Replacements
From the moment we are born, the aging process begins. (Sometimes it’s more fun than others.) When you have missing or broken teeth, it can adversely affect your oral health and quality of life. One treatment option to consider is Dental Implants. Dental Implants offer a highly successful, long-lasting, and natural-looking substitute that actually becomes part of the jawbone and helps maintain bone health.
When Are Dental Implants Used?
Dental implants can support a variety of dental restorations:
- Single tooth replacements: one implant and one crown replace a single tooth.
- Multiple tooth replacements: multiple missing teeth can be replaced with multiple implants supporting fixed bridgework.
- Combinations of fixed and removable bridgework: implants support a section of fixed bridgework, to which a removable section is attached.
- Over-dentures: where two or more implants provide stabilization of a denture (set of removable false teeth).
- Anchors for tooth movement (orthodontics): temporary implants can serve as very stable anchor units for orthodontic devices to allow quicker and easier tooth movement.
Success Rates for Dental Implants
Dental implants have a very high success rate, even in areas of low bone density. Once integrated and functional, with proper care, implant restorations can last a lifetime.
Dental Implants require no more attention than your natural teeth. Flossing and brushing your teeth on a daily basis, along with regular dental professional check-ups will keep your implants, natural teeth and gums healthy and stable for a very long time.
