Implants can be used to replace single missing teeth or to support a bridge when several teeth are missing.
If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant supported denture can replace the missing teeth. Implants are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Because the dental implants integrate with the jawbone, an implant supported denture tends to be comfortable and stable, allowing you to bite and chew naturally!
With careful treatment planning and good oral care, dental implants can provide a healthy, stable smile and you can obtain the look and feel of having your own natural teeth! You will be able to smile, bite and chew as naturally as you did before the loss of teeth.
The development and use of implants has been one of the biggest advances in dental health care in the past 40 years. ADA reports that US dentists place more than 5.5 million implants annually.
