What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the bone beneath the gums, where it can serve as a replacement tooth root. The implant body often includes ridges or threads that help anchor it to the bone. Dental implants provide immovable support for the natural-looking replacement teeth attached to them.
Implant-Supported Teeth vs. Removable Dentures
Replacement teeth supported by dental implants are the closest clinical option to natural teeth. In fact, people who have dental implants often say they don’t even think of them as tooth replacements — they think of them as their own teeth. That’s because implant-supported teeth look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
The implants themselves act as substitutes for natural tooth roots, anchoring a full set of life-like prosthetic teeth. Implants are made of biocompatible materials that are uniquely able to fuse to living bone. This provides strong, stable points of attachment for the new teeth. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, virtually no food is off-limits. What’s more, dental implants help preserve bone quality and quantity, ensuring that the replacement teeth will not slip or lose their fit over time as removable partials and dentures will. When well-maintained, implant dentistry can help to satisfy an individual’s oral health needs for a lifetime!

Implant Options for Missing Teeth
Dental implants are considered today’s gold standard for tooth replacement. Your own bone can solidly attach to dental implants and dental implants don’t decay. Therefore, they last longer than any other tooth-replacement option. Dental implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that deteriorates when a tooth is lost. The surgical procedure is minor and routine. After a healing period, the implant is topped with a lifelike crown custom-made to match your existing natural teeth. Implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is significantly higher than other tooth-replacement options.
