Many patients may be familiar with implants in the body, but may not fully understand what a dental implant is. Dr. David S. Frey is pleased to educate patients on one of the most popular dental restorations available in today’s dental practices.
Important Facts About Dental Implants
There are many benefits and considerations that patients think about when they are presented with the possibility of placing one or more dental implants in their smile for tooth replacement:
• Dental implants are versatile. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more teeth within the smile. They can be covered with a dental crown to replace a single tooth, or be used along a dental arch to anchor a full denture in place.
• Dental implants are biocompatible. Dental implants used at the practice of Dr. David S. Frey are made of titanium. This is a metal that is used for other implants in the body because it work well with the body and is not treated as a foreign substance.
• Dental implants can improve bone structure. When a dental implant is placed into the jawbone, it can stimulate the process of osseointegration. This is the growth of bone that wraps around the restoration to hold it firmly in place. Traditional denture use can lead to bone loss, while the placement of dental implants can restore the bone without requiring bone grafting.
• Dental implants will last a lifetime. Patients who visit their dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings, and take good care of their smile at home between appointments, will often enjoy their dental implants for the rest of their lives. This makes the dental implant a smart investment for those who will benefit from them for decades!
• Dental implants are strong and sturdy. Because the dental implant uses the bone of the jaw as a foundation, it is strong and durable. Dental implants offer strength that cannot be obtained with any other tooth replacement options.
