Dental Implants 101

Dental implants offer a permanent foundation for long-term teeth replacement that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The dental implants act as an anchor to the jawbone allowing custom crowns to be attached for a natural look. Often the result is not only an enhanced smile, but also a more youthful appearance, since missing teeth can cause the face to “collapse” making you look older.

How do dental implants work?

  • A dental implant is a titanium root that is inserted directly into the jawbone where teeth are missing.
  • The bone attaches to the titanium, creating a strong foundation for the artificial teeth.
  • Implants are the best solution for missing individual teeth as they don’t require the cutting down of neighboring teeth as bridges do.
  • Dental implants allow for maximum bone preservation in the areas surrounding the implant sites.

Dr. Mork has received specialized training on both placing the implant and creating the crown or denture to restore them.

Know Your Options for Teeth Replacement

Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution to tooth loss without the need for many expensive trips to the dentist. When compared to other popular teeth replacement options, it is clear why so many people choose dental implants.

Dentures

5 to 7 Years

Dentures can provide accurate teeth replacements, but the process can be detrimental to your bones. As the dentures sit in the mouth it can cause a variety of health issues including mouth sores, gum irritation and can even lead to a weak jawbone.

Bridges

7 to 10 Years

Bridges provide an attractive smile at the cost of  damaging your already healthy teeth. The bridge attachment process requires surrounding teeth to be permanently ground down.

Dental implants are more than an extension of your jawbone. In fact, they are designed to act as natural tooth roots which help stimulate your bone, keeping it strong and healthy.
