Dental implants are used to replace one or more missing teeth, prevent existing teeth from shifting, restore chewing and speech, and prevent jaw problems.  They resemble your missing teeth, safeguard the integrity of existing teeth and help maintain a healthy smile.  At Endless Smile Dental, we customize your dental implants to ensure a perfect fit.  The implant is essentially a titanium tooth root which permanently holds a replacement tooth.  Because they look and feel so much more natural than traditional dental bridges or dentures, dental implants are very popular among our patients.

The implant process begins with a thorough examination of your teeth and jawbone to determine whether your jaw is healthy enough to accept a dental implant without any extra support.  If extra support is needed, bone grafts are strategically placed to strengthen the jawbone.  A dental implant is then selected and placed in the area of your missing teeth.  Once the implant attaches to the jawbone, a custom made crown is fitted on the implant.

The greatest benefit of choosing dental implants is the fact that they do not rely on the support of surrounding teeth to function and sustain a false tooth and healthy jawbone.  This means that the rest of your teeth will not be affected by the damaged or missing tooth.
