Dental Implants: Dental Implant Cosmetic Dentists and Info

Many dentists recommend dental implants as a great alternative for replacement of missing teeth, fixed bridges, partials and holding dentures in place. A dental implant will stimulate bone growth thereby keeping your jaw strong and healthy and not affecting the quality of the surrounding teeth. Dental implants do not limit you in any area of speech or diet, they work just like a regular tooth and no one will ever know you have a replacement except for yourself.

Dentures vs. Dental Implants
Any Dentist will tell you that dentures do not provide the functional stimulation to your jaw bone like your natural tooth or a dental implant would, so it can not only weaken the bone and cause your gums to recede, but you would also have to deal with slippage, adhesives and possibly misplacing them. Fixed bridges involve reducing the two adjacent teeth of the missing tooth to be fitted with a dental crown so they can act as anchors for the replacement tooth. If these two teeth are healthy, you do not want to sacrifice their health for a bridge.

If you are in good general health, have adequate jaw bone and have healthy gums, you are an ideal candidate for dental implants. The dental implant procedure involves the placement of a small prosthetic post into the bone of the jaw (done in one of our dentist\'s offices). It acts as an artificial tooth root as the gum tissue and surrounding bone cells heal around it. This process is called osseointegration. The dental implant replacement tooth is then attached to the new artificial root. The dental implant will look, feel and function like your natural tooth. With proper oral home care and regular dental visits, your dental implant can last you a lifetime.

Dental implants are a serious matter and should not be taken lightly.  If you want your dental implant to be done right, be sure to get it done by a dentist with plenty of experience in dental implants.  Below is a list of dentists who offer dental implants in a city near you:
