Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved they can smile with confidence.
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts, which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth. Implants are more conservative than bridges in that implants do not require the filing down of normal tooth structure. Implants also stimulate the growth of bone and prevent the atrophy or shrinking of bone that happens after teeth are lost. Dental implants are an ideal method of replacing missing teeth. > Read more about dental implants at our Colleyville (Fort Worth) office
