Dental Implants | Ridge Augmentation

Dental implants allow people who have lost teeth to enjoy the function, appearance and permanence that their natural teeth once provided. They can be used to replace a single tooth, a partial, a bridge, or full dentures.

What are Dental Implants?

The implants are tiny titanium posts that fill the role played by a tooth’s roots. The implants are placed in the jawbone, and bone grows around them, providing a strong foundation for the replacement teeth. Dental implants provide significant long-term advantages: They help stop the bone loss that occurs over time after a tooth is lost, often creating a “sunken” facial appearance in people who have lost all of their teeth. They enable people to eat and chew whatever they like, avoiding compromises to health because of poor nutritional intake. They give patients the confidence that they had with their natural teeth, freeing them to smile, talk and chew without embarrassment.
