Your smile can impact your confidence in the workplace and elsewhere. Making lost teeth look as natural as possible is a very complicated and difficult task, making it that much more important to have an experienced cosmetic dentist working on your teeth. Dental implants act the same as regular teeth, and you may even forget you had a lost tooth because they feel so natural. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are put in place of a root structure for a tooth. Titanium is highly compatible with bone and oral tissues making it ideal for this purpose. After some healing time is given after its placement, the implant can then hold a crown bridge or over-denture, just like a root holds a tooth in place. Dental implants help preserve facial structure and bone deterioration as you age, which can occur when teeth are missing. Dental implants are very durable and with proper care should last you your lifetime. Visit our Dental Bridge page to learn more about one of the cosmetic dentistry options we offer.
