Dental Implants Preserve Bone
Traditional tooth replacement procedures such as dentures and
bridges pose several risks and complications. They can also contribute to bone
loss in the jaw. Dental implants are fused directly into the jawbone and can
stimulate the jaw to prevent bone loss
. They look and function just like your
real teeth and can promote overall oral and jaw health.
What Can I Expect During The Procedure?
The base of the implant is made out of titanium and is fused
directly into the jawbone. After the implant has completely integrated with the
jaw bone, it is permanently fixed into place so there is no risk of slipping,
moving, or loose teeth. An abutment connects the implant to the crown
looks and functions just like your real teeth. The base of the implant
stimulates the jawbone when the patient chews food and moves the jaw so there
is no risk of bone loss.
