About Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a stable foundation for custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring aesthetics and functionality. Implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration, creating a durable anchor for long-lasting tooth replacement, enabling comfortable speaking, eating, and chewing.
Advantages of Dental Implants
At Admire Dental, we utilize cutting-edge 3-D imaging technology to create a personalized treatment plan that not only allows you to visualize the end results, but also tailors the process specifically for you. This customized plan is then sent to Invisalign to craft a set of virtually invisible aligners, worn over your teeth, which you switch approximately every two weeks. With regular appointments, our dedicated staff ensures your treatment progresses smoothly, sparing you from the discomfort of traditional braces and allowing for hassle-free eating as the aligners can be easily removed.
Dental Implants vs. Bridges
- Dental implants involve the surgical placement of titanium posts in the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for individual crowns or dental prostheses.
- Dental bridges use neighboring teeth or implants as support to bridge the gap created by missing teeth, with artificial teeth called pontics attached to the supporting structure.
- Implants offer a long-lasting and independent solution, as they are not reliant on adjacent teeth for support.
- Bridges rely on the support of adjacent teeth or implants, making them a suitable option when neighboring teeth are healthy and can provide the necessary stability.
- The choice between implants and bridges depends on factors like oral health, bone density, and personal preference, and a dentist can evaluate the individual's situation to determine the most appropriate treatment option.
