Our teeth are responsible for proper speech and digestion. They also contribute to the appearance and overall structure of the face - and are the first thing others see whenever we smile or laugh
This is why losing one or several of our teeth can be a very devastating experience. Fortunately however, dental implants can be an excellent restorative option for people who have lost one or multiple natural teeth - as they look, feel and function extremely similarly to that of a natural tooth.
Dental implants are essentially screw-shaped artificial tooth roots composed of titanium metal. These “roots” are implanted into the jaw bone to then support an artificial replacement tooth, referred to as a pontic or a crown. With an up to 98% success rate, it’s no wonder why dental implants are the leading choice of tooth replacement available in dentistry.
Furthermore, with proper daily maintenance and care, a dental implant restoration can last a lifetime. This includes being sure to brush twice daily and floss at least once daily, in addition to visiting our Welland dentist and hygienist for routine check-ups and cleanings.
Generally speaking, patients should have healthy bone and gums in order to qualify as a good candidate for dental implants. Our dentist will be able to perform an assessment during your consultation to determine whether the procedure would be a suitable option for you.
