All About Dental Implants

At Bluff Creek Dental, we work hard to make expert, effective dental treatment as convenient as possible. 

We pride ourselves on using only the most advanced dental technologies and treatments, and we're always looking for ways to make treatment easier and more comfortable for our patients. That's why we're excited to offer dental implants: an easy, effective, and long-lasting way to replace lost or damaged teeth. 

A Different Kind of Dental Treatment

Dental implants are used when one or more teeth are missing, decayed, or damaged enough to need extraction. The implant itself is essentially a small, screw-shaped titanium post. This post is inserted by your dentist into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure, then fitted with a dental crown that's styled after the shape and color of your natural teeth. When the procedure is over, the dental implant looks just like any of your other natural teeth—but it's stronger and will last a lifetime.

What makes dental implants so effective is their titanium material. Titanium has the unique property of osseointegration, which means that it literally fuses with surrounding bone, creating a strong, sturdy, and highly reinforced foundation for a replacement tooth. This not only creates a reliable foundation for the tooth, but it also evenly disperses pressure from biting and chewing throughout the jaw. This prevents bone loss and damage to the jaws, thus helping to promote not only the health of your teeth and smile, but of your entire mouth.
