We all want our natural teeth to last a lifetime. It is very distressing when through age, accident, or disease we unfortunately lose one or more teeth. The VivaSmiles team can help bring your natural smile back, keeping you looking naturally beautiful for a lifetime. Dental Implants are the perfect solution if you're missing a single tooth, several teeth or all your teeth. Bone loss and a sagging face is the end result of tooth loss unless the tooth is replaced by a dental implant. Implants will help you preserve bone and your facial structure, and you will look much younger. Dental implants introduced a revolutionary change to dentistry. They consist of a titanium post, which is implanted in the gums, providing a "root" for an artificial tooth that is attached. Among their many benefits, implants do not distress healthy neighboring teeth because they do not rely on them for support. The new tooth looks and feels much like the real thing, and gives you the freedom to eat anything you want. The great thing about the titanium used in the implants is that bone will form around the implant and bond with it. Using our 3-D i-CAT scan we can plan the entire implant-placement procedure using computer models. From this planning, and with the aid of a surgical guide, we can place the implants and teeth in the optimal position. The healing process with this procedure can be significantly faster and, in a majority of cases, the new teeth are immediately ready for function. Clearly, the best, most natural option for tooth replacement, dental implants are so unobtrusive and natural to live with that many people forget they even have them. Implants are a life-long solution that can substantially improve your quality of life, and make you smile again. |
