Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom-made crown that looks and feels like a natural tooth. At Gresham Dental Group, we use dental implants to help restore smiles, improve oral function, and boost long-term confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
WHAT DOES THE IMPLANT PROCESS INVOLVE?
The dental implant process typically begins with a consultation and imaging to assess your jawbone health. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll surgically place the implant post, allow it to heal and integrate with the bone, and then attach a durable, lifelike crown. The result is a stable, long-lasting tooth replacement that functions like your own.
DO I NEED A DENTAL IMPLANT?
If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants may be the ideal solution. They not only fill the gap but also help prevent bone loss and shifting of surrounding teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, offering a more independent and lasting restoration.
Are Dental Implants Worth It?
Many patients find that implants are a worthwhile investment in both health and appearance. With proper care, they can last decades and feel just like natural teeth. Whether you’ve recently lost a tooth or have worn dentures for years, implants can dramatically improve your quality of life.
