Dental implants are mounted in the jaw or skull to serve as an orthodontic anchor or support for dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, dentures, or facial prostheses. Dentists have made great strides in dental care, but millions of people still lose their teeth to tooth decay, periodontal disease, or trauma. Bridges and dentures were the only dental treatment options available for many years.
Smile Makers Dental Care, Concord, offers advanced dental implant placement procedures. Call us at (925) 6859339 for more details.
A dental implant is a surgically placed metal post that provides a strong foundation for a fixed (permanent) or removable replacement tooth. The implanted tooth roots are made of titanium and are designed to work and feel just like natural tooth roots.
Among the many advantages of dental implants are:
The success of dental implants varies depending on where they are placed in the jaw. But on average, implants have a success rate between 98 and 99 percent. The life expectancy of implants is relatively high with proper care.
Patients who have received dental implants say that the procedure is not painful. Local anesthesia is administered during the procedure, making the placement of implants typically less painful than tooth extractions.
