Dental Implants
Dental implants
are today's best alternative to natural
teeth. They can be your doorway to renewed
self-confidence and peace of mind.
An implant is, essentially, a sophisticated
titanium screw which is placed into the
jaw bone to replace the root of a lost natural
tooth. The implant fuses with the jawbone
to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.
The end result …replacement teeth that
look, feel and function just like natural
teeth. The embarrassment, irritation and
self-consciousness often experienced by
people who have missing teeth those who
wear dentures or who have suffered through
older methods of tooth replacement are overcome
with the confidence of permanently anchored
dental implants.

Because of the increasing public awareness
that dental implants can improve overall
health and well-being, at any age, their
use has tripled since 1986. The availability
of extensive data on the high rate of long-term
success of these procedures has also added
to increased use of implants for more and
more people of every age.
Are dental implants approved?
Absolutely. The development phase of dental
implantology ended more than two decades
ago. Technology is always being improved,
but research studies have clearly established
the effectiveness of dental implants. All
dental implants are manufactured from safe,
biocompatible materials. Titanium implants
are inert and are not known to cause any
type of rejection phenomenon.
What is the procedure like?
Following radiographic and clinical evaluation
the implant/s are placed into the jawbone.
After an initial period of healing, they
are used to secure first temporary and then
final 'teeth'.
 
The entire procedure from evaluation to
completion will usually take anywhere from
three to six months. Every case is different.
Remember, implant success depends on your
cooperation in maintaining meticulous oral
hygiene. Smokers be ware …smoking may
adversely affect the success of your dental
implants.
