The most realistic (and unique) thing about dental implants is that they offer something traditional prostheses can’t – a prosthetic option for replacing lost teeth roots. Implants are root-like posts that are placed within the jawbone. Made from biocompatible titanium, they’re designed for your jawbone to fuse to their surfaces as it heals following the placement procedure.
The main goals of dental implant posts are to offer the most lifelike support for your replacement teeth, and to reestablish the vital functions of your lost teeth roots. They accomplish the first goal by anchoring your custom dental crown, bridge, or denture in place atop your dental ridge, much the same way natural roots support your healthy teeth. They accomplish the second goal by restoring the stimulation in your jawbone every time you bite and chew with your implant-supported prosthesis.
Besides the fact that dental implant posts are inserted into your jawbone, they also remain virtually unnoticeable due to the lifelike support that they offer your prosthesis. Unlike traditional replacement teeth that utilize adhesives or hidden clasps, and can often shift over time, dental implants mimic the way your natural teeth are held in place.
The ability to completely rebuild your smile following tooth loss with highly lifelike results means no one will ever have to know you have dental implants, unless you want them to.
