Replace Missing Teeth with Predictable and Realistic-looking Dental Implants
Tooth loss can be devastating. It reduces your ability to chew and speak and diminishes your confidence when smiling. Good news! Dental implants in Meridian, Idaho, can help you regain your smile in nearly every aspect. Expertly placed at New Leaf Dental, dental implants replace one or multiple teeth, restoring aesthetics, functionality, and confidence. Many patients describe dental implants as life-altering and regret why they waited so long.
How do dental implants replace missing teeth?
A dental implant mimics your natural tooth in every aspect, from looks to structural design. A dental implant comprises three components, namely:
- Titanium post: This is a biocompatible titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone to act as the root for your new tooth. This post fuses with the jawbone over time to form a rock-solid foundation for your prosthetic tooth.
- Abutment: This small connecting piece sits between the implant and the final restoration. Once placed, the abutment extends above the gum line, serving as a base onto which the artificial tooth is secured.
- Crown: A crown is the visible and functional part of your implant. It’s created from durable and life-like materials to look and function like natural teeth.
Successful dental implant placement requires careful planning and hands-on precision. Our office uses advanced technology to map out and place your implants with exceptional accuracy. Backed by years of experience, we’re equipped to manage even the most complex implant cases with confidence and care.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Losing teeth can be frustrating, but it doesn’t mean you will lose your smile. Dental implants replace one or more missing teeth, restoring everything robbed of by missing teeth.
Here are the benefits of dental implants.
- Eat without worries: Dental implants help you regain over 80% of your chewing power. Why does it matter? It allows you to eat nuts, apples, steak, and other foods previously off the menu.
- Aesthetics: Whether we restore your implants with a denture, crown, or bridge, every restoration is customized to blend seamlessly with your smile. The results are so realistic that no one will realize they are replacement teeth.
- Stability: Dentures rest directly in the gums, so they may shift over time, causing discomfort and gum irritation. Dental implants are anchored directly in the jawbone to provide the ultimate stability.
- Enhanced confidence: Dental implants allow you to feel like yourself again. You no longer have to worry about your teeth shifting or falling out at awkward times.
- Jawbone preservation: When you lose teeth, your jawbone shrinks, resulting in diminished jaw function and sunken-in appearance. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone to maintain its health and stability.
- Versatility: Dental implants are a good choice for almost everyone, no matter how many teeth they have lost. Whether you have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, our dental implant options provide appropriate treatment.
- Durability: Dental implants last many decades (and even a lifetime) with proper upkeep.
