You do not have to live with a gap in your smile. The experienced and caring dental team at Precision Dental Clinic offer dental implants – the tooth replacement choice that can last a lifetime.
In the past, a tooth was replaced with a removable partial denture or fixed dental bridge. Though still sound dental options, they sit on top of gum tissue. A dental implant resides in the jawbone where it becomes part of your body.
In a brief but well-planned tooth implant surgery, an opening is created in bone and the small screw-shaped device is precisely positioned. In time, bone fuses to the implant, forming a solid foundation for a porcelain crown.
Bone preservation – Each time you bite down, tooth roots trigger an influx of minerals and nutrients that keep jawbone strong and dense. An implant mimics this function. Without it, bone diminishes, affecting facial appearance.
Longevity – A denture or bridge wears out and must be replaced. With good oral hygiene, an implant can last as long as your own teeth.
Easy care – No special brushing or flossing techniques are required for an implant restoration.
Normal look, feel, and function – An implant is the closest substitute for a natural tooth.
Most often, a titanium dental implant replaces a single missing tooth, and implants can be used for multiple teeth at various locations in the mouth. Zirconia teeth implants are an option for the patient who wants only metal-free dental work. The white implant will not show through thin gum tissue, or leave a gray line if gums recede later in life.
Getting new teeth is cost-effective with implant retained dentures. Just a few implants are strategically placed to hold a full denture with incredible comfort and stability.
Mini dental implants are designed to be placed at the time teeth are extracted, with the denture immediately inserted. The prosthetic protects your mouth as it heals, and you do not have to be seen without teeth.

Five things you probably didn’t know about dental implants –
1: It’s been almost 60 years since the first dental implant was placed in a human and ever since then, we’ve been doing it successfully.
Number 2: A dental implant procedure is very conservative when it’s a routinely done procedure and probably less traumatic than your tooth extraction.
Number 3: Titanium is the metal we use most commonly to make dental implants and it’s the same metal that’s used in your knee and hip replacements and your bone loves it.
Number 4: When placed and restored correctly, dental implants can last a very, very long time.
Number 5 and the most important one is that dental implants are the best prosthetic or the restorative solution, as dentists we can offer you, to replace your tooth, but it’s not better than your natural tooth. So, please brush your teeth and keep them safe.
