What Are Dental Implants?
What Are Dental Implants?At Excellence Dental, we offer dental implants as a great way to replace missing teeth. Implants look and feel like natural teeth while giving you the function and comfort you need. Dental implants have three key components. The implant is a titanium post that goes into your jawbone. The abutment connects the implant to the crown or bridge. The restoration is the crown or bridge that looks like your natural teeth.
Each implant is meticulously planned using digital 3D imaging and precision-guided technology to ensure optimal placement and long-term success. This modern approach allows us to create restorations that integrate seamlessly with your natural dentition for exceptional comfort and aesthetics.
Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on nearby teeth for support. This means your healthy teeth stay untouched. Implants also help protect your jawbone by filling the gaps left by missing teeth. This prevents bone loss and keeps your jaw strong. You care for implants just like your natural teeth by brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly.
With proper care, dental implants help preserve bone structure and facial contours, supporting lasting oral health and vitality. At Excellence Dental, we create implant solutions just for you. Whether you need to replace one tooth or many, we will make sure your implants look great and work well.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
At Excellence Dental, most patients with missing teeth are great candidates for dental implants. Good overall health helps support proper healing, and certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis, immune-related conditions, or a history of head and neck radiation, may simply require additional evaluation. A healthy jawbone is important for implant stability, and if bone loss is present, treatments like bone grafting can help create a strong, supportive foundation.
Lifestyle factors can play a role in healing and implant success. Smoking, certain medications, and individual healing capacity may affect how implants integrate with the bone, and for younger patients, implants are placed only after jaw growth is complete. With proper daily care and regular dental visits, dental implants can be a dependable, long-lasting solution that restores both the function and natural look of your smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants have many advantages over other ways to replace teeth. They are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, with careful attention to matching the size, shape, and color of your smile.
Beyond restoring your smile, dental implants help protect your jawbone. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can begin to shrink over time. Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping maintain its strength and preserving your facial structure.
Unlike removable dentures, implants are securely anchored in place. They won’t slip or shift, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and comfort. With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, often a lifetime.
Dental implants are also highly versatile. They can replace a single missing tooth or be used to support dentures, providing improved stability, comfort, and peace of mind.
