Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They offer a stable foundation for fixed or removable prosthetic teeth, closely mimicking the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. This treatment is ideal for individuals who have lost teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons and are seeking a permanent alternative to dentures.
How It Works
The dental implant process at New Road Dental begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we assess your oral health and determine your suitability for implants. Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, we plan the precise placement of the implants. The procedure involves inserting the implant into the jawbone, where it fuses over time through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has integrated and the area has healed, a custom-made crown is attached, resulting in a natural-looking and functional tooth replacement.
Benefits
Choosing dental implants for your missing teeth offers numerous advantages:
• Permanent Solution: Dental implants provide a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth, often lasting a lifetime with proper care.
• Improved Oral Health: Implants help preserve the jawbone and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, maintaining the integrity of your facial structure.
• Enhanced Functionality: They restore full chewing power, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without discomfort or restrictions.
• Natural Appearance: Custom-designed to match your natural teeth, implants offer a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants eliminate the need for adhesives and provide a hassle-free solution to tooth loss.
