If you are suffering with missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic
dental problems, dental implants can give you the comfort,
security, fit, feel, function and look of natural teeth.
Dental implants typically have three parts:
The Implant: A screw that serves as the root for your
new tooth. It is inserted into the jawbone and is usu-
ally made of high-quality metal such as medical-grade
titanium.
The Abutment: A component that attaches to the top
of the implant that connects the replacement tooth to
the implant.
The Crown: The part of the replacement tooth you
can see. It’s usually made of porcelain or zirconium for
durability and a natural-looking appearance.
Dental implants have been called the most significant dental
innovation of our generation, for good reason. Bone actually
attaches to the medical-grade titanium resulting in a replace-
ment tooth that feels secure and completely natural. Moreover,
implants can help preserve your jawbone, which can become
vulnerable to shrinkage over time once teeth are lost.
Not only will you look younger with natural-looking, implant-
supported teeth, you will regain your ability to eat your favorite
foods — even if those foods are apples, steak and corn on the
cob!
