A gold standard treatment that sparkles
You may have heard dental implants described as the “gold standard” in tooth replacement. They have a well-deserved strong reputation due to a design that replicates the anatomical structure of a natural, healthy tooth. Natural roots in your jawbone hold your teeth in place. Dental implants are designed like the roots of teeth. They are placed in your jaw during a routine in-office procedure. Implants are made from a biocompatible material, which results in them naturally joining to the surrounding bone in the jaw as part of the osseointegration process. With the implant as part of the jaw, it can truly function like a natural tooth root.
Traditional tooth-replacement systems, such as conventional bridges and removable dentures, do not replicate the tooth root. Instead, the replacement teeth must rely on either surrounding teeth, as is the case with the conventional bridge, or adhesive products and natural suction, as with removable dentures. The level of stability achieved with natural, healthy teeth is only matched by crowns, bridges, and dentures designed with dental implants because they derive their support from the roots in the jaw – like a natural tooth!
Care that shines
Not all dental offices are equipped to place the implant. Dentists may work with a specialist to plan the placement and the finishing touch: the restoration or denture. Dr. Spagnuolo and the team at We Smile Dentistry has invested in training and equipment to offer all aspects of the dental implants process, from preparing the treatment site and planning the position of the implant to the actual surgical placement of the implant and the restoration of the missing tooth.
