Nearly 178 million Americans have at least one missing tooth. The best replacement for those with missing teeth is a dental implant. Dental implants, are the next best thing to healthy natural teeth. They not only replace a missing tooth in form and function but also help prevent deterioration of the jaw bone.

Implant to replace a tooth |
A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge. Because a dental implant will replace your tooth root, the bone is better preserved. With a bridge, some of the bone that previously surrounded the tooth begins to resorb (deteriorate). Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact. |
