Dental Implants ​

​

A dental implant is a porcelain tooth that is placed into your mouth via a titanium post and acts like your own teeth.

Dental Implants Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth

​

dental​ implant is a biocompatible, man-made substitute for missing tooth roots. Implants are typically made of a space-age alloy of titanium. Implants come in various shapes and sizes, chosen to best fit your mouth and jaw. Implants are placed in the bone and allowed to heal undisturbed so the bone heals around them, locking them in like an anchor. After a few months, the implants are used as a foundation for replacing the missing teeth.

​

Dental implants restore lost chewing ability, improve appearance, end embarrassment, and give real self-confidence to patients that need them. Implants replace one, many, or all of your teeth. Implants are a real dental breakthrough.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

​

  • Dental implants fill unsightly gaps in a smile.

  • Dental implants deter bone loss which will occur when a tooth is missing. The titanium post fuses with the bone, thus preventing the bone from dissolving.

  • Fixed bridges and removable dentures may not be the perfect solution to missing teeth, often they bring with them a number of other problems.

  • When teeth are lost, the bone which held the roots of the teeth starts to dissolve, and so removable dentures may slip or cause sores on the gums.

  • Fixed bridges and removable dentures usually need to be replaced every 7 to 15 years, compared to an up to 25-year life span for dental implants.

  • When you lose teeth, you inevitably lose mass in your jaw bone. This affects the overall skeletal structure of your face, which not only changes your profile, but also may result in thin lips, drooping muscles, jowls or witch’s chin.

  • Bone loss in the jaw also affects your gums and ridges in your mouth, as well as the muscles and nerves in and around the mouth.

​

These conditions may only be avoided through use of dental implants, because implants may halt and even reverse the bone loss that results from losing teeth.

​

Dr. Wych strongly recommends the use of dental implants wherever appropriate. 

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

​

The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant. Some people who have lost bone in their jaw can still get implants, but the bone must first be rebuilt using special bone-grafting procedures.

​

People who are not good candidates for dental implants include:

  • Young patients whose jawbones have not fully developed.

  • Pregnant women.

  • People with existing medical conditions. 

  • Patients who take certain medications such as steroids or drugs that suppress the immune system.
