How
Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants replace
the form and function of missing teeth. They support replacement
teeth in virtually the same way that your natural tooth root
supports your natural teeth.
Various replacement options are possible:
- Dental
implants can be used to replace a single tooth, so that
grinding down or altering adjacent teeth is no longer necessary.
- Dental implants can
be used as anchors to support a fixed bridge.
- Dental implants can
support loose teeth by being splinted to them.
- Dental implants can
support replacement teeth for an entirely toothless jaw.
- Dental implants can
provide stability for a complete denture, thereby eliminating
unsightly moving and clicking associated with dentures
Dental
Implants are actually an amazing procedure, actually giving
you a second chance for your teeth!
