Dental implants are a great option for replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants give you a chance to have new, natural-looking teeth that can repair and strengthen your dental health if your smile has been broken by years of decay, chipped crowns, and missing teeth. Dental implants offer the benefit of permanent replacement prosthetics.
Whether you're looking to have a new crown, partials, or implants all done at once, here at our Hurricane, WV(Teays Valley) office, Mountain State Oral and Facial Surgery can help.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a cutting-edge dental device used to replace missing teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking solution. Structurally, it consists of a titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial root. Over time, this post integrates with the bone—a process known as osseointegration—creating a stable foundation.
An abutment is then attached to the post, which supports a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth. Dental implants are widely recommended by dental professionals due to their ability to preserve bone, maintain facial structure, and provide a permanent solution to tooth loss. This technology represents a significant advancement in restorative dentistry, combining decades of scientific research and clinical success to restore both function and aesthetics to patients’ smiles.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer significant advantages, including:
Aesthetic Match: They perfectly replicate the color, shape, and texture of natural teeth, maintaining a natural-looking smile.
Enhanced Speech: By restoring support where teeth are missing, implants improve mouth shape and pronunciation.
Superior Stability: Anchored directly into the jawbone, implants withstand chewing forces without shifting, unlike dentures or bridges.
Longevity: With a lifespan of up to 20 years and minimal maintenance required, implants are a durable solution.
Health Benefits: Immune to decay and more resistant to gum disease, implants offer a healthier alternative to dentures.
