Dental ImplantsDental implants offer optimal health and appearance. A dental implant can be thought of as an artificial root. The artificial root can support a single dental crown, a section of a non-removable bridge or part of a removable denture. Implants are quite comfortable to place in the jaw, and they stay feeling comfortable; like a natural tooth that can’t get a cavity. Implants provide a stable bite, improved incising and chewing ability, and they reduce the risk of gum disease compared to other options for tooth replacement. An implant supported crown doesn’t require any adjacent teeth to be restored. This often makes the single-tooth implant and crown replacement the restoration of choice rather than a bridge. An implant supported bridge can be made on as little as two implants. Four to six or more implants can be used to replace a full set of upper or lower teeth. One of the best services we can provide for someone who wears a conventional lower denture is to place two implants in the canine areas to give the denture much better support, retention and chewing function.
