If you’re missing one or more teeth and haven’t heard about dental implants, you may be surprised at just how revolutionary implant dentistry is. Dental implant treatment is our preferred way to restore missing teeth, and when you see just what a difference they can make in your life, we think you’ll agree.
Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically placed within your jawbone to stand in for the roots of missing teeth. The screws are capped with prosthetic crowns that look and feel just like real teeth. The implants become part of your jaw and promote oral health much better than dentures and dental bridges.
Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options:
- They strengthen your jawbone and prevent additional tooth loss
- They look and feel just like natural teeth
- They are the only option that replaces your missing tooth and missing root
- When properly cared for, they can last a lifetime
Most patients who want dental implants can get them. If you have sufficient bone density in your jaw and have generally good oral health, you’re probably a good candidate.
If you’re ready to learn how dental implants can improve your appearance and quality of life, please contact The Practice at Maxwell Place today to schedule an appointment. We serve patients in Jersey City and Hoboken, New Jersey.
