Why Are Dental Implants Necessary?
Your smile can convey several emotions at once, and society often judges people’s intelligence and honesty based on their smile. Missing teeth can be negatively perceived and can ruin your self-esteem. Don’t let this happen to you! Call Dr. Fink at 602-942-4260 to learn more about dental implants and how they can restore your smile and confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a versatile solution for replacing one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or all of your teeth. The dental implant post, a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This implant post replaces the missing tooth root, ensuring that your dental restoration is stable. After placement, a period of healing is required to allow the bone to bond with the biocompatible post
Following this healing period, Dr. Fink will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post. Each dental implant restoration is custom-made to fit your smile comfortably and aesthetically. Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, Dr. Fink may recommend for your implant restoration to be a:
Dental crown
Dental bridge
Complete denture
Partial denture
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants are superior to other tooth replacement options. Not only do they feel like your natural teeth, but implants can also last a lifetime! They allow you to chew your food with confidence, are easy to clean, and don’t require a sticky paste to stay in place. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that helps prevent bone loss in the jaw.
To help keep dentures from moving around, dental implants can have button-like attachments that snap the denture in place. As few as two implants can drastically improve the stability of a denture. Say goodbye to floating dentures!
Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant can restore your smile to optimal health, function, and appearance. A dental implant is an excellent option for restoring your smile because it is designed to look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
