Dental Implants

Restore your missing teeth to smile with confidence again

 
 

Dental implants can help fill the gaps in your smile, without the loss of your existing teeth. A Dental implant is an artificial replacement tooth root, composed with a metal-screw-like structure that takes the place of teeth that are missing.  It is an effective treatment that helps preserve your existing teeth. Today, Dental implants are considered a standard of care in dentistry that must be offered by the dentist as one option of dental procedures considered.

Dental Implant FAQ

  • Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, usually made from titanium, that are surgically anchored into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a sturdy base for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

  • The Dental implants used at Gentle Family Dentistry are all made of pure titanium. Titanium is ideal due to it being very compatible with the tissues of the human body.

  • There are several factors that need to be considered for dental implant placement:

    • First and most importantly, the right amount of jawbone, both in width and height must be satisfactory for implant placement.

    • Secondly, the patient must be in relatively good medical health. Gentle Family Dentistry conducts a medical consult with your physician if there are any issues that need to be addressed. This includes but is not limited to uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and osteoporosis.
