What are Dental Implants?
Why Get Dental Implants?
Our philosophy at the Dental House is to save your natural teeth whenever possible. But sometimes, a tooth cannot be saved, and the next best thing to replace it is a dental implant. These provide the benefits of having natural teeth as you enjoy the function, look, and feel of a real tooth.
When teeth go missing, the jawbone in the area of the missing tooth root begins to deteriorate, which can cause other teeth to shift and change the shape of your face. But dental implants can stimulate jawbone growth, much like a real tooth root does. This helps you maintain a more youthful facial structure and keeps the rest of your teeth where they belong.
Dental implants are made of titanium, which is one of the only materials that are compatible with human tissue. This helps spur new bone growth to secure the implant, so it stays strong while supporting the crown. And implants and crowns are a long-lasting solution for missing teeth because they are durable, as your body treats the implant like a real tooth root.
