Second Chance Smiles: Dental Implant Options for Smile Restoration

Nothing can take the place of a healthy set of teeth, but when disease or an accident ends in tooth loss, it's good to know you have some options in restoring your smile.

For some people, dental implants offer a feel and look very similar to their own teeth.

What are implants? Implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically placed beneath your gums. After placement, the implants fuse to the bone of your jaw and act as artificial tooth roots. Replacement teeth-singularly or grouped on a bridge or denture---are then mounted to the implant.

Can anyone have implants? Candidates need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant-and they must commit to keeping these structures healthy. Diabetes, osteoporosis or chronic sinus problems may interfere with proper healing. Smoking may also affect the stability of the implant over time.

What are the benefits of implants? They offer stable support to artificial teeth so that dentures, bridges, or individual teeth won't slip or shift in your mouth. The fit feels very natural and will give you confidence while eating or speaking.
