More people than ever before are choosing dental implants as the preferred tooth replacement therapy. According to an American Dental Association survey, the average number of surgically placed dental implants has increased by almost 50 percent in the past five years. That’s because people are discovering that dental implants not only feel secure and stable, allowing them to speak and eat clearly, but they look so natural as well. And there’s another bonus - because they help to prevent bone loss, dental implants can help to maintain a more youthful appearance. We offer dental implants as an alternative to conventional tooth replacement treatments, such as dentures and dental bridges.

Dental implants are based on sound science. They have withstood the test of time, and the procedure has been continually refined and improved since they were first invented in 1952. A titanium post will be placed into the bone to support a single replacement tooth, or a frame for several, beneath your gum. The post will become biologically fused to your jawbone. The replacement tooth will then be secured to this implanted post, leaving you with a natural looking and fully functional smile.

The dental implants procedure can:

• Replace one or more teeth without relying on neighbouring teeth for support
• Provide support for dental bridges and dentures, making them more secure and comfortable
• Eliminate the need for partial dentures

Dental implants can also be used to secure dental bridges and dentures when more than one tooth is missing.

What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Dental implants look and feel extremely natural, so you can smile, chew, and speak with renewed confidence. They also offer more security than dentures, and they do not require surrounding teeth to be altered, as opposed to dental bridges, which require surrounding teeth to be reshaped. Dental implants are durable and reliable, so they can be expected to last a lifetime with proper maintenance. And, because dental implants integrate into the structure of the jawbone, they prevent bone loss and gum recession.

Am I A Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

The best candidates for dental implants include those who are in good general health, have healthy gums, and who have adequate bone in the jaw to support the dental implants. Patients who are at a high risk of gum disease, such as those who suffer from diabetes or who smoke, may not be good candidates for dental implants. A comprehensive exam is the only way to know if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Contact Marlborough Dental Centre today to schedule an appointment.
