A dental implant can be used to restore a single tooth or an entire set of teeth. Dental implants involve the placement of a surgical grade titanium post directly into the jawbone by one of the doctor\u2019s trusted specialists. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation for the attachment of a dental prosthetic (denture) that is custom created for you. While typical dentures shift and require the use of denture adhesives to keep them in place, implants fit solidly, reducing the problems associated with traditional dentures such as gum sores, and difficulty speaking and\u00a0 chewing. Implants are sometimes used instead of bridges in order to maintain the integrity of the teeth on either side of the gap.<\/p>\n

A: <\/strong>By replacing missing teeth-either with a bridge or with an implant, you will alleviate the problems associated with missing a tooth and will restore\u00a0 your smile back its beautiful, full appearance. A bridge is one solution for replacing a tooth. By using neighboring teeth as the supportive structure, your dentist places a porcelain restoration into the vacant space, restoring the functionality and look of your smile. A dental implant is also an excellent solution. Dental implants involve the placement of a titanium post directly into the jawbone. Once the post has bonded to the bone, it can act as a new, solid support for a natural looking, porcelain restoration. Implants can replace a single tooth, or an entire set of teeth, offering more function and permanence than traditional dentures.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_cta admin_label=”T3 CTA Style 1″ _builder_version=”3.0.85″ title=”Implant-Supported Dentures” button_text=”Learn More” button_url=”\/implant-supported-dentures\/” url_new_window=”off” use_background_color=”off” background_layout=”light” custom_button=”off” button_icon_placement=”right” module_class=”t3_m_cta_style1″ saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n While typical dentures shift and require the use of denture adhesives to keep them in place, implants fit solidly, reducing the problems associated with traditional dentures such as gum sores, and difficulty speaking and\u00a0 chewing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”T3 Call To Action” specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.9″ background_color=”#d9e6c7″ custom_padding=”20px||20px|” module_class=”boxed t3_s_cta_style2″ collapsed=”off” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” global_module=”818″][et_pb_row global_parent=”818″ background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_cta global_parent=”818″ _builder_version=”3.9″ title=”We love to connect with our patients!” button_text=”MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT” button_url=”\/appointment\/” background_color=”#b7b7b7″ use_background_color=”off” module_class=”t3_m_cta_style2″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
