THOUGH THE TERM MAY SOUND VERY FAMILIAR<\/strong>, you might still be a little unsure about what dental implants<\/a><\/strong> actually are\u2014and why they are such a great solution for tooth loss. Don\u2019t let that embarrass you! Drs. Bradley and Dr. Boswell<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>understand that most people are actually in the dark about this. Talking about dental implants isn\u2019t exactly common social conversation! We can help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The process of applying dental implants<\/strong> begins with inserting small titanium posts into the jaw as the \u201croot structure\u201d for a denture, bridge, or crown. The next step involves several weeks of healing so that these small implants can fuse with your bone and produce a strong anchor. A temporary crown is worn above the implant during the healing time until you are ready for your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to be securely attached to the small metal post. In the end you\u2019ll be left with a natural-looking, long-lasting, AND beautiful smile!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a short list of benefits:<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Eating Will Be Enjoyable Again!<\/strong> \u2014 Because dental implants are anchored in the bone, they can provide biting force similar to natural teeth.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll Save Your Healthy Neighboring Teeth!<\/strong> \u2014 In most cases, adjacent teeth are not altered or harmed in any way.<\/p>\n

Easily Maintenance!<\/strong> \u2014 Dental implants are just as easy to brush and floss as natural teeth.<\/p>\n

A Permanent Solution!<\/strong> \u2014 Your implants can last a lifetime!<\/p>\n
