Implants

 Dental Implants Columbus, Ohio

Dental implants are often the best treatment for missing teeth.  When a damaged or decayed tooth is removed, both the visible part of the tooth, called the crown, and the root are lost. 

Many options exist to replace missing teeth but dental implants can provide the feel, function and appearance of natural teeth.  Implants  are permanent, secure, and stable enough to support dental bridges and dentures.  Implants are strong alternative to dentures and eliminate the inconveniences associated with dentures.

What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is placed in the jawbone so that it can fuse with your natural bone and become a strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Implants can be used to replace an individual tooth or for an implant-supported bridge or denture containing multiple teeth. 

Dental implants are the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth.

What are the benefits of dental implants over other treatments?

Why are dental implants often the first choice and a standard of care compared to other options to restore missing or damaged teeth? 

Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They look, feel, and function like real teeth while offering several long-term benefits:

  • Natural appearance and function: Restore your smile, speech, and ability to eat comfortably.
  • Long-lasting: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, unlike traditional bridges that often need replacement after several years.
  • Preserve jawbone and facial structure: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone loss and maintaining your natural face shape.
  • Stable and secure: Unlike removable dentures, implants won't slip, click, or shift during eating, speaking, or laughing.
  • Protect healthy teeth: They replace missing teeth without requiring adjacent healthy teeth to be altered, as bridges do.
  • Easy to maintain: Brush and floss implants just like natural teeth. While the implant itself can't get cavities, good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are still essential.
  • Reliable treatment: Dental implants have a strong track record of long-term success and are considered one of the most predictable tooth replacement options.
  • Overall, dental implants provide a comfortable, permanent, and functional solution that helps restore confidence, oral health, and quality of life
