Patients in Indianapolis ask, “Why should I get dental implants?”

If your smile is not at its best because of tooth loss and decay, dental implants may be a viable solution for you. Replacing the root of a missing tooth or teeth, titanium implants are small posts that are secured into the jawbone, and after several weeks of healing time, fuse to the bone. Once the implant is securely set, an extension post is inserted and topped with an artificial, natural looking tooth cap, called a crown.

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and care

Why get dental implants?

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and care, and have numerous benefits, including:

  • Restoration of your smile, appearance, and confidence
  • Look, feel, and function of normal, healthy, and permanent teeth
  • Strengthening the bone structure for surrounding teeth that remain
  • Surrounding teeth may be left intact
  • Increased comfort when eating
  • Enhanced speech
  • Durability and stability
  • Titanium material will not decay
