Dental Implants

You may have some missing teeth and want them restored in a way that looks natural and are firmly embedded in your gums. Dental implants are for you. Midtown’s Rosa Dental is experienced in using these implants which are comfortable and natural-looking.

• Dental implants are a newer tooth-replacement option for patients with missing teeth. Implants can restore your speech, self-confidence and chewing ability.

• Dental implants function like tooth roots, anchoring the tooth’s crown in place by anchoring to the jawbone. An implant is a titanium post placed in the upper or lower jaw. As the bone tissue grows around the implant, it creates a firm foundation for an implant crown, bridge or denture.

• Why replace missing teeth? Missing teeth can be caused by an accident, injury, years of deterioration or periodontal disease. To retain your ability to chew, as well as preserve the shape and structure of your face, it is crucial to replace missing teeth. Other problems that could result from not replacing them include other teeth drifting or tilting in the open spaces, which can lead to headaches and TMJ and increase your tendency to develop tooth decay and gum disease.
