Dental Implants & Oral Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and aesthetics. At our practice, we offer dental implant services to provide patients with a long-term, durable option for replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants not only restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably but also prevent bone loss in the jaw that can occur when teeth are missing. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, improving overall oral health and confidence. Dental implants can also prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of place, maintaining proper alignment and bite function.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are advanced dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. They consist of three main components:
- Implant Fixture: This is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
- Abutment: The connector piece that attaches to the implant fixture, protruding above the gum line to support the dental restoration.
- Dental Restoration: This is the visible part of the implant, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and restore your smile’s appearance and functionality.
Dental Implants Offer Several Benefits
- Provide a permanent and durable solution for missing teeth.
- Preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss.
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth, enhancing comfort and confidence in your smile.
