Dental implants are a specialized area of restorative dentistry. They are substitutes for the roots of missing teeth, and act as an anchor for a replacement tooth or crown or a set of replacement teeth. Ideally, teeth would last a lifetime, but sometimes they don't. Replacing missing teeth is important to your general health and the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose chewing ability when a tooth is lost, but unreplaced teeth can cause other teeth to be lost, tipped or crowded.
Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years and is recognized as an effective treatment choice. Implants are considered more predictable than bridgework, resin bonded bridges and endodontic treatment. They are appropriate for patients of all ages and may be the right choice if you are missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay. Implants are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures. A qualified dentist with specialized training in dental implants can determine if you are a candidate for this treatment after an evaluation of your dental and medical history.
