Dental implants represent a groundbreaking advancement in restoring not just the aesthetics of your teeth but their functionality too. Whether you require a single implant or multiple implants, our dedicated team at Optima Dental Care is here to guide you through each step of your journey to a rejuvenated smile.
Dental implants are titanium posts that replace your tooth roots by being embedded into your jaw. This allows our dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. Unlike dentures, which are removable, dental implants provide solid support for artificial teeth. This is because they are integrated into your bone structure, offering a stable and enduring solution.
Single Dental Implants
For those missing a single tooth, a single dental implant provides an effective solution. The process involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone, which then fuses with the bone over a few months in a process known as osseointegration. Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a crown is custom-made and attached to the implant post, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth in both appearance and function.
Multiple Dental Implants
If you are missing several teeth, multiple dental implants may be the best option for you. This procedure can vary slightly depending on the number of teeth missing and their location in your mouth. For multiple missing teeth, individual implants might be placed or a few strategically positioned implants may support a bridge or denture. This not only helps in achieving a natural look but also preserves jawbone health and provides strength similar to that of natural teeth.
Choosing dental implants offers numerous benefits. They help maintain your facial structure by preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. This preservation of your natural teeth enhances long-term oral health. Moreover, dental implants can last many years, if not a lifetime, with proper care. They are also more predictable than other repair and restoration methods, providing reliable outcomes and satisfaction among patients.
