Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium anchors used to
permanently replace teeth that are missing,
cannot, or should not be saved. Dental implants
themselves serve as tooth root replacements to
support
caps, bridges, or dentures. Developed in the
1960s, modern dental implants revolutionized dent
istry and have become the standard of care for
replacement of missing or soon to be missing
teeth.Our doctors have vast experience in the
placement of dental implants. They have lectured
nationally and internationally on implants,
taught and mentored other doctors, and published
numerous articles on dental implants.
Long Term Success
Modern dental implants are highly reliable and
exponentially stronger than the tooth roots
they are replacing. Recently, the development of
stronger titanium alloys (titanium) and implant-
surface technology has dramatically improved
dental implant success. Today, dental implants
have become the single most successful
implantable device in dentistry or medicine.
The success of dental implants has been
extensively reported to be in the high 90 range
(96- 98). Numerous studies of modern dental
implants, which have existed in their current
form since the 1990's, have shown similar success
rates at 15 years.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most advanced tooth
replacement option available to our patients.
Done correctly, they are highly esthetic and will
look and feel like your own teeth. Equally
important, dental implants are the only tooth
replacement option that maintains the jaw bone
that is so critical for facial esthetics.
Following loss of a tooth, the jawbone will
naturally resorb (atrophy) unless replaced by
a dental implant. This is traditionally
what happens under bridges and dentures, a
process that can give denture patients a
prematurely aged, sunken-in look.
