Dental implants are strong
Dental implants are made from a screw-like titanium post that is implanted by your Ajax, ON, dentists into your jaw bone, and then fuses to your jaw bone in a process called osseointegration. This gives the implant strength and also strengthens your jaw bone, meaning there will be less facial sagging in the area of the implant. Dental implants can even make you look younger this way!
Dental implants are convenient
Dental implants never have to be removed like dentures do for cleaning. They become a permanent part of your natural smile and never decay. The ceramic crown used blends in with your natural teeth. Dental implants can also replace multiple teeth in the same area with a custom crown called a bridge. Two posts are placed in the jaw bone and the bridge that looks like multiple teeth covers the entire area.
Dental implants are easy to care for
In order to take great care of your dental implant, you just need to keep up a good oral hygiene routine at home. Brush for two minutes twice a day and floss at least once a day. Floss in the area of the implant and make sure all debris is removed from around the crown. If you grind your teeth at night, your dentist will recommend a nightguard to protect the crown.
If you are missing teeth, it's best to have them replaced before the vacant space causes other dental problems. Dr. Jafarpour, Dr. Kwong, and Dr. Elhaddad place dental implants for patients to restore smiles. Contact us for an appointment in Ajax, ON, at (905) 426-8304.
