Dental implants

A history of dental implants

There are several ways that modern medicine can replace missing teeth, some of which have been around for centuries. Dental implants have been around for 25 years and have taken the world by storm, but earlier efforts at replacing tooth roots as well as crowns are prehistoric. Even then, our clever ancestors wanted a method that replaces not just the crown, but also what lies underneath. Perfecting this method, we get to our modern dental implants, which are superior in aesthetics, safety, health effects and durability that any other method to date.

Advantages of dental implants

• Dental implants are the only form of tooth replacement that prevent further tooth loss
• Superior aesthetic qualities
• Replaces both the visible portion of the teeth and the tooth root as well
• Restores proper chewing function
• The most long lasting and durable tooth replacement method

What is a dental implant

Dental implants are tiny screws which replace the tooth roots. They are completely safe, and because they are made of titanium, are completely hypoallergenic. They are a completely lifelike, durable tooth replacement.

Implant supported dentures

Dental implants can replace more than just solo teeth. Dental implants are capable of replacing entire rows of teeth, or to fix existing dentures. Implant supported dentures do not move about, do not need adhesives, and can tolerate much greater occlusal forces than removable or non-fixed counterparts.

Price of dental implants

Dental implant treatment is a multiple step, complex dental procedure, and it takes months to complete. The price is determined by the price of the individual stages, and these can vary from patient to patient.
