Dental Implants
Whether you need to replace one tooth or many, dental implants are an attractive, durable way to renew your smile. Implants mimic natural tooth structure and provide long-lasting beauty, comfort, and function. At our leading-edge dental office, Dr. Sand Wall offers dental implant restorations to give patients natural-looking smiles and improved quality of life.
What is a dental implant? How does it work?
An implant has two parts: a biocompatible titanium post topped with a custom crown or other prosthetic. An oral surgeon will insert one post in your jawbone for each missing tooth or a few to secure a denture, partial, or bridge. Your jawbone will fuse with the post(s) and provide a firm foundation for your new smile. Dr. Sand Wall will work closely with your surgeon during the implant placement phase. Then, she’ll design and attach your replacement teeth to beautifully revitalize your smile.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants provide a host of benefits, including:
- Increased support for facial muscles for a more youthful appearance
- Improved articulation
- No diet restrictions – you can eat what you want
- Deterrence of bone loss that may occur with missing teeth
- No possibility of slippage, so no need for adhesives
- Existing teeth won’t drift out of position
- Patients maintain an active lifestyle knowing their smile is secure
Are dental implants right for me?
Implant dentistry candidates must have good oral health and sufficient jawbone mass to support implants. Dr. Sand Wall will assess your oral structures to determine if dental implants are a good choice for your smile.
