Ask The Doctors

Periodontist Harrisonburg VA

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the most preferred method of long term tooth replacement by both patients and doctors alike. This is because they look and function just like real teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implants are actually stabilized by the jaw bone. Not only does this make them more comfortable, it actually helps prevent bone and tissue from deteriorating. Your teeth are surrounded by a special type of bone that exists specifically to support your teeth. In areas that are missing teeth, this bone will start to slowly disappear, as it no longer has a function. Dental implants act just like natural teeth and stimulate this bone so that it does not disappear.

How do they work?

Implants are essentially just titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jaw bone in the areas that are missing teeth. Since titanium is naturally compatible with the body, the implant and the bone will quickly fuse together and create a structure that is very similar to a tooth root. Once the integration process is complete, the abutment and the crown can be attached to enable normal chewing functions. The crown also gives a natural appearance that makes the implants indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Are dental implants safe?

Implants have been used to replace missing teeth for over two decades. In fact, implants have the lowest risk of complication among dental prosthetics. With sufficient care and maintenance, your implants can be a lifelong solution for replacing missing teeth.

Our Google Patient Review

Couldn't be anymore pleased with SVII. From the moment you walk in the door until the time you leave, the doctors and staff are friendly and engaging. In terms of the dentist "stuff", I've had to have two extractions followed by implants, and things couldn't have gone any better. Virtually no pain or discomfort during or after the procedures. I would highly recommend SVII.
