Implant Restorations

Implant Restorations 

People lose their teeth due to many reasons – tooth decay, accidents, injuries, and periodontal diseases are a few of them. For many years, the only options available to restore missing teeth were prosthetic dentures and bridges. However, with the advancement in dentistry, dental implants have become a better and improved treatment option. 

What are Dental Implants?  

Dental implants are a sought-after treatment option for missing teeth, providing a strong foundation for fixed or removable restorations. Implants are the artificial roots that it is attached to your jawbone and allows restoring your teeth. They are a permanent solution for your missing ones.

What are the Advantages of Implants?  

*Dental implants appear and feel similar to your natural teeth. As they fuse with your bones, they provide an improved appearance to your smile.  

*Implants are a better alternative to poor-fitting dentures, leading to improved speech as they don’t slip out of your mouth.  

*Once they become a part of your mouth, dental implants eliminate all sorts of discomfort and do not require any maintenance.  

*Compared to other teeth restoration options, implants provide easiness in chewing the food. 

*Since they do not require reducing other teeth as seen in Bridges, they ensure improved oral health. Individual implants allow easy access between your teeth. Thus, maintaining oral hygiene doesn’t become a task. 

When Do I Need Dental Implants?  

*We may recommend dental implants as a treatment option for one or more of your missing teeth.  

*You are a candidate for implants if you have sufficient bone mass in the jaws and want to restore your missing teeth. If your bone mass isn’t enough, we will perform a bone graft surgery followed by dental implants.  

*They are a sought-after treatment option if you do not want to resort to other alternatives, especially dentures.
