What Are Cosmetic Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the new measure of care for tooth replacement. Implants bond with healthy bone and provide constant support for dentures and crowns. Today's dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth and can last your entire lifetime.

Preventing Bone Loss

When teeth are lost, the jawbone below them withdraws from lack of stimulation. A lost tooth changes your smile and alters your face's shape, making you look prematurely aged. Your jawbone relies on stimulation from your teeth to stay healthy. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone doesn't continue growth in that spot, which causes a loss of jaw bone mass and nearby teeth to move and become loose.

DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE

The cosmetic implant procedure begins with a titanium screw placed into your jawbone where the original tooth was. For several weeks, your jawbone will grow around the screw to secure it in place.

The dental crown is then attached to the implant. The implant is the same shape and color as your natural teeth. Once your implant is in place, it is identical looking to your regular teeth.
