A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.

There are no loose parts to worry about losing. The dental implant is stable and comfortable. No adjustment is needed after placement. Normally, it will serve its owner for life.

Why dental implants for Dentures?

There are a number of reasons why you should consider dental implants for your dentures:

1. To stabilize a loose fitting denture

2. Implant supported dentures require no adhesives

3. The denture material is cut back so that there is less plastic in your mouth

4. You can now eat foods that were off your menu because of dentures that moved or shifted.

5. Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can shrink. This shrinkage will make your face look older than it is.

6. You are more confident and healthier.
