What's the importance of dental implants?

Dental implants solve an array of issues, not just your smile:

• They are permanently affixed, preventing them from slipping out of your mouth while you chew or speak.
• They replace missing teeth, and prevent bone deterioration and sinkage.
• They restore chewing and bite function, as well as speech.
• They restore a person's confidence and can last a lifetime if taken care of properly.
• They're used for other procedures and are biocompatible to avoid tissue rejection.

Dental implants are a great option but first, you must consult your Trenton dentist to make sure you're a good candidate. People with poor immune systems, low bone density, and poor oral hygiene are not ideal candidates. Fortunately, in these cases, our dentists can fix the issues with individual treatments.

The procedure is fairly simple. Your dentist numbs the surgical area and inserts the titanium post which needs 3-to-6 months to fuse to the rest of the bone. The surgical area is then reopened and a connector placed to anchor the post to a crown that matches the rest of your teeth. After this, you will be the proud owner of a permanent, beautiful smile.
