One of the significant advantages of dental implants is their natural appearance. They are custom-designed to match your existing teeth perfectly. When your smile looks genuine, your confidence soars, positively impacting both your personal and professional life.
Dental implants don't compromise the integrity of adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges. This means your natural teeth remain untouched, promoting long-term oral health. Implants also prevent bone loss, preserving your facial structure and preventing premature aging.
While the restoration, (crown, bridge, overdenture, etc.) will need to be replaced eventually, with proper care, dental implants themselves can last a lifetime. Unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacement every few years, implants offer a durable and permanent solution to tooth loss, making them a wise investment in your oral health.
During the initial consultation, Dr. Jason Simms and Dr. Anh Simms will assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. They will discuss your treatment options and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
In this step, the dental implant, a small titanium post, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This post acts as a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth, effectively acting as an artificial root. The jawbone will naturally fuse with the implant, providing a strong and stable base.
After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made crown or other restoration, such as a bridge or snap-in overdenture, is attached to the implant. This dental restoration is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. Once the restoration is complete, you can enjoy your fully functional and aesthetically pleasing new smile.
