Dental Implants
What is a Dental Implant ?
Dental implants are the best solution for a missing tooth or significant oral bone loss. Think of an implant as a small prosthetic post placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. Unlike a dental bridge, an implant actually replaces the root portion of the lost tooth and can act as an anchor for other replacement teeth. Because there is always a perfect fit with implants, you'll feel as if you have your natural teeth back, feel comfortable and even better, your smile will appear completely natural.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants ?
Not only can implant dentistry be aesthetic and give you back your confident smile, it can also give you back the function of eating and chewing without worry. Other benefits include:
-
Dental Implants can take the place of old or damaged dental crowns
-
They are an alternative to dentures
-
You can function normally when eating and chewing food
How Can Dental Implants Improve My Health?
Because missing a tooth or several teeth can prevent you from eating certain foods such as fresh vegetables & fruits, your overall health and nutrition could be at risk. Many times denture wearing patients lose a portion of their ability to taste foods and chewing can be difficult and painful. Dental implants function more like teeth and they offer the benefit of better health due to improved nutrition and taste and proper digestion.
Are Dental Implants right for me ?
To qualify for dental implants you need to have a healthy jawbone and oral tissue. If you have had a regular teeth cleaning and dental checkups then the next step is to call our dental office at 215-627-3888 to discuss whether dental implants are an option for you. 
Are Dental Implants difficult to care for ?
Your implants are designed to last a long time and are cared for with regular brushing and flossing, just like your natural teeth. Caring for non-implant tooth replacements such as dentures can be much less convenient as compared with implants - you do not need any specific toothpastes or glues or dental adhesives.
