Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilize your bite and cause you discomfort. When teeth are missing,\u00a0your remaining teeth can shift and even cause your face to look older.<\/p>\n
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist.\u00a0The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient\u2019s smile!<\/p>\n
How do dental implants work?<\/h5>\n\n\nBecause implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won\u2019t slip or shift in your mouth \u2014 an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges \u2014 as well as individual crowns placed over implants \u2014 feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.<\/p>\n
For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth\/teeth in place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
