Benefits of Dental Implants
- Strong and stable, just like a natural tooth
- Customized to match your natural teeth
- Designed to last
- No impact to surrounding teeth
- Preserves existing jawbone
Implants can restore and reshape
Through the process of osseointegration, the titanium used in dental implants biologically fuses with your bone, spurring bone growth to strengthen your jawbone and ensuring lasting results. The implant essentially plants new roots in your jaw to help maintain your facial shape and provide long-term bite stabilization.
Once the "root" of the implant is placed, we create a custom cap that completes the tooth replacement. For single-tooth implants, this can seamlessly match the rest of your teeth. For full-arch implants, we can completely change the look of your smile.
Common Misconceptions
Don’t let your age hold you back. Osteoporosis and other age-related jawbone issues can impact how implant treatment is done, but implants are designed for patients of all ages. If you’ve been dealing with the difficulties of dentures for years, let us help you experience permanent tooth replacement.
With modern sedation and anesthesia, implant treatment is virtually painless. You may experience some mild discomfort for a few days following surgery, but it is easily managed with our aftercare solutions—and you’ll be left with a lasting, functional smile.
Because they're made to last, dental implants are often a better investment than bridges or dentures, which need to be replaced. Implants may involve a higher investment on the front end, but they also provide a much greater return over the life of your smile.
Unlike the teeth you were born with, modern implants do not decay or get cavities. Bacteria and food particles still need to be brushed away to maintain healthy gums, but oral hygiene is much easier as implants are actually more durable than normal teeth.
Dr. Silva custom shades and shapes your dental implants to fit naturally in your existing smile. In terms of beauty, strength, and function, the only difference between your real teeth and dental implants is that they're not real.
Not every dentist has the advanced education and specialized skills to accurately place dental implants. Dr. Silva has invested the time to master the intricacies of precision implant placement to deliver effective treatment and beautiful, lasting results.
