DENTAL IMPLANTS - What are they?
- What are the advantages?
|
Dental Implants are man-made supporting structures for the replacement of natural teeth. the implants themselves are like artificial tooth roots anchored in the bone on which replacement teeth are fixed. They allow a person to return to the functions associated with natural teeth. One of the most important advantages, and yet little known, is that implants preserve your natural bone, whereas partials and dentures contribute to bone loss. Bone loss is what gives the face that "sunken in" look after many years without teeth. Other benefits - Self-confidence
- Improved chewing ability
- Comfort
- Better over-all health
- Better appearance
- Better quality of life
Am I a good candidate? The odds are in your favor. To be certain, xrays and a thorough examination are necessary. However, even teeth that have been missing for many years can usually be replaced with implants with the addition of new bone material through grafting. Dr. Albury has been doing this procedure for over twenty years now. He has seen so many advances in this treatment option, and so many lives improved, that this has become his favorite procedure to perform. It is deeply gratifying to see the benefit to people who seek this treatment choice. |
