What Are Dental Implants?
The roots of your teeth go deep into your gums and into your jawbone. When you chew, the pressure on your teeth gets absorbed down into your gums and jawbone, which stimulates the bone mass. This stimulation is important for a strong and healthy jawbone! But when the tooth is missing, your jawbone doesn't get that stimulation anymore, and it can actually weaken and degrade.
That's why dental implants are such an incredible solution for missing teeth. Not only do they provide strong support for restorative dental work like crowns, but they also help maintain a healthy jawbone. The material used for dental implants is perfect for a bone to grow around, which ensures the implants are a secure foundation for restorative dental work. With dental implants you can continue to live your life how you want, and be free from the worries that are caused by missing teeth.
Single Dental Implants
If you have one or a few missing teeth, Dr. McElveen can place individual dental implants as the foundation for your restorative dental work. He will work closely with your general dentist to ensure you receive the exact treatment you need to get the final results that you want. Meet with Dr. McElveen to discuss what you would like to achieve with your surgery.
All-on-4 Implant
One of the best ways to replace lost teeth is to install dental implants. Dental implants consist of a titanium metal framework that is surgically inserted into a person’s jawbone. This framework is designed to support dental crowns, bridges or even entire dentures as needed, preventing them from ever coming loose. Because dental implants conduct the same functions as natural tooth roots, most people who have received dental implants say that their replacement teeth feel the same as their original ones. This makes dental implants an ideal solution for many patients who have experienced tooth loss.
