A missing tooth can lower your self-confidence and may cause you to hide you smile and shy away from social engagements and public speaking.

Patients are often attracted to dental implants to replace missing teeth because implants are the most natural option next to your original teeth.

Because they are so life like, dental implants give patients self confidence peace of mind.

A dental implant dentist offers a unique tooth replacement that is nearly identical to a biological tooth in appearance and performance.

When the implant dentist places the titanium device into a patient’s jaw, the end result is a re-creation of the absent tooth’s root. The dental implant is the only tooth replacement method to replicate the missing tooth’s entire structure, not merely fill in for the visible crown portion.

The dental implant serves a very important purpose in this aspect. It anchors the jawbone in the same way that a tooth’s root does.

When the root is not replaced, as is the case with bridges and dentures, the jawbone will atrophy over time. This effect is noticeable and can add to the problems with the smile’s appearance.

In addition to the aesthetic benefits, dental implant patients also get peace of mind from the durability of the replacement teeth. They become a permanent part of the mouth because they fuse with the jawbone.

Dental implants are also convenient because they are easy to care for. Because they share the form of natural teeth, they can be maintained just like the natural remaining teeth. There is no need for patients to alter their brushing and flossing techniques.
