Dental Implants: The Next Best Thing to the Real Thing
Traditional tooth replacement methods like dentures and crowns and bridges do a fine job in repairing both the look and function of a damaged smile. Depending on the location, missing teeth can affect everything from our ability to eat, our speech, and even the health of the bone tissue in the gum, and the stability of the surrounding teeth. A denture or crown replaces the bottom half of the tooth, which is obviously very important. But dental implants go a step further, and replace the root of the missing tooth as well, making it the most permanent of the options currently available.
Dr. Hitesh Shroff has helped many patients restore their smile and regain their confidence with high quality custom dental implants. Read on to learn more about dental implants and their many benefits or call our Plantation, FL dental office to schedule an implant consultation with Dr. Shroff.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
The implant consists of a cone shaped titanium screw that replaces the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant has fused with the surrounding bone in the gum, the crown of the tooth is attached to the implant with an abutment, permanently securing the new tooth in place. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth or several. Once it has healed, the implants do not have to be removed for maintenance or care and are generally as stable and secure as a natural tooth.
Beautify Your Smile With Quality Dental Implants
Dental implants have dramatically changed the lives of many people for the better and are considered the most ideal solution to replacing missing teeth. Placement and restoration of implants can help patients overcome devastating and detrimental effects of missing teeth such as poor chewing function, poor overall appearance of their smile, and even social embarrassment.
