Missing teeth? Implant dentistry could be the ideal solution for you! Dr. Jorge Reyes and Dr. Catalina Madrigal provide dental implants to replace your missing teeth and give you back a beautiful, healthy and fully functional smile that you can enjoy for years to come.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a type of prosthetic teeth designed to replace teeth which are missing. They consist of two parts — an implant post which is surgically placed into your jawbone to replace your tooth roots, and an implant restoration which caps the post to replace the crown or crowns of your teeth. This restoration is custom-made to fit your smile perfectly, and may be a crown, bridge or denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants are considered the perfect option for replacing missing teeth because they perform all the same functions as your natural teeth. This means that implants offer significant benefits for your smile and oral health, including:
- A restoration that looks, feels and functions like your natural teeth
- The implant post stimulates your supporting bone, keeping it strong and healthy
- A restoration which promotes better long-term oral health and function
- A highly durable solution, which can last a lifetime when properly cared for
- A treatment with long-term cost savings — while implants may cost more initially, they require less maintenance and are long-lasting
- Greater convenience — implants are cared for like your natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing, no special care required
Who Is A Candidate For Implant Dentistry?
If you have lost a tooth, you are a candidate for implant dentistry. If you have tooth decay, gum disease or another pre-existing condition, you will need to receive treatment for that issue before you can receive an implant. Our dentists will evaluate your mouth to determine if any additional care is needed and discuss dental implants and other options with you when creating your treatment plan.
