Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are a modern, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a sturdy base for a crown or bridge. This prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure, which is a common issue after tooth loss. Dental implants not only replace missing teeth but also support oral health by preventing neighboring teeth from shifting.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Implants are designed to look and function like your natural teeth. They offer improved chewing, speech, and overall confidence. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent and require less maintenance. With the right care, they can last for decades, making them a smart investment in your long-term dental health.

What is the Procedure?

The process involves a surgical placement of the implant, followed by a healing period of 3-6 months. During this time, the titanium post integrates with your jawbone. Once healed, a custom crown or bridge is placed to complete the restoration. While the surgery is typically painless due to anesthesia, you might experience slight discomfort during recovery.

By incorporating dental implants, you're not only improving your smile but also investing in your long-term oral health.

My daughter's first dental visit was a huge success, thanks to the caring and patient team at SkyBlue. They made her feel comfortable and explained everything in a way that she could understand. Now she's excited to come back for her check-ups!
