Dental Implants
Implants can help reverse the impact of tooth loss and improve your dental health and personal appearance. When you lose one or more teeth, your remaining teeth can drift out of position. This can lead to a change in your bite, the loss of additional teeth, decay, and gum disease. Implants can be an effective method of replacing one tooth or several teeth. Dental implants are today’s best alternative to natural teeth. They allow you to function more normally than conventional dentures and bridges. Like many Sault Ste Marie residents already know, they can be the foundation for improving smiles and appearance.
Implants are not just for the elderly patient. They can benefit anyone with missing teeth regardless of their age. Because they fuse to your bone, they provide stable support for dentures, bridges or individual crowns as they don’t slip or shift in your mouth when you eat or speak. Implants integrate into your jaw and feel more natural. Some people also find the secure fit of implant supported restorations more comfortable then conventional substitutes.
Several steps are necessary to place an implant, and the entire procedure takes a few months to complete. An initial consultation with an oral surgeon or periodontist will determine if you are a candidate for implants.
By placing dental implants with special attachment fixtures, we are now able to connect your dentures to your dental bone. Besides stabilizing your dentures and allowing you to chew with confidence, the implants also stop the bone loss!
Imagine being able to eat the foods you want again and not have worry about pesky loose dentures.
Modern dental implant placement requires only a minor surgical procedure that can be done in the dental office. Most people have very little post-op discomfort, far less than after having a tooth removed.
