Why Dental Implants?

If you have missing or very damaged natural teeth, dental implants are the next best thing. Dental implants are used for replacing any number of missing teeth from one to an entire arch of upper or lower teeth. They can support dentures, crowns, and bridges.

Dental implants are metal screw-like rods that are surgically embedded in your jawbone to replace the tooth root. Once the dental implant fuses with your jawbone, Dr. Zamakhchari will add the other components of the prosthetic tooth - the abutment and the crown, to complete the restoration. 

Because they are durable and completely fuse with your hard tissues, dental implants offer the same strength and stability as real natural teeth. On top of this, dental implants can be customized according to the structure and appearance of your natural teeth. This will make your smile look and feel natural. 

Why Do You Need Implants?

As you know, missing teeth can have a long-lasting effect on your oral health. And not treating them in time may cause:

• Neighboring teeth to shift position
• Increased risk of bacterial infections 
• Adverse effects on how you speak and chew 
• Deterioration of the facial bone structure
• Jaw joint issues
• Bone and tooth loss

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants help you restore the full functionality of your mouth. They’re designed to look and function just like natural teeth and also help preserve your bone structure that is otherwise affected by tooth loss. 

Since dental implants are sturdy and firm, they can resolve your bite or speaking issues. With proper care, dental implants can last for a long time and improve your overall health.
