Dental Implant Benefits
Implants provide significant benefits, including:
- Distinct articulation/speech
- Fully functional chewing
- Increased confidence
- Prevention of bone loss associated with missing teeth
- No need for adhesive and no slippage
- A more youthful appearance because facial structure is supported
- Longevity – with proper care, dental implants last most patients a lifetime
Anatomy of an Implant
A dental implant has two parts: a biocompatible titanium post that serves as a tooth root, topped with a prosthetic. Dr. Weiser reccomends dental implants to replace one or more missing teeth and to secure dentures, partials, and bridges.
Are You a Candidate?
Ideal dental implant candidates have good oral health and sufficient jawbone structure to support implants. Dr. Weiser will use advanced technology to assess your candidacy and precisely plan implant placement. Some patients require bone or sinus grafts to shore up jawbone mass prior to implant surgery.
Dental Implant Placement and Restoration
Once Dr. Weiser determines precise placement for your dental implants, he’ll surgically secure the posts in your jawbone. A process called osseointegration will occur, during which your bone tissue will fuse with the posts. If you’re missing teeth in a visible location, Dr. Weiser can fit you with a prosthetic to wear while your mouth heals so that you’re never without a complete smile. Once the site has healed, Dr. Weiser will attach your custom replacement teeth to beautifully renew your appearance and deliver optimal oral comfort and function.
