Dental implants are custom-made artificial teeth that become a permanent part of your mouth. Whether you have one missing tooth or several missing teeth, implants replace each tooth individually and are often the next best thing to having natural teeth. Implants consist of a titanium “root” that your dentist affixes to your jawbone so it becomes a permanent replacement tooth.
The upper part of the implant — the crown — looks like your natural tooth in size, shape, and color, and is typically made out of porcelain or metal. This new tooth functions like your natural teeth and fills in the space where you lost a tooth from decay or trauma.
Implants allow you to eat the foods you love without worry of your artificial teeth slipping out of place. Other benefits of implants include:
The team at Walker Family Dentistry offers the most recent, up-to-date technology in dental implants, so you can be sure you’re getting the latest materials and dental implant procedure, too.
To ensure the success of your dental implants, you need to have a strong immune system and good bone density in your jaw to support the new tooth or set of teeth. If you have one or more missing teeth and you are in good overall health, you may be a good candidate for implants.
Other factors that may affect your candidacy for implants include:
The dental team carefully evaluates your oral health, overall health, and medical history before recommending implants to restore your smile. While most people are good candidates for implants, there are other restorative options available if this isn’t a good fit for you.
