The answer is simple\u2014natural functionality. Traditional restorative services do a good job of filling in the gaps in a patient\u2019s smile, but they don\u2019t do anything about a patient\u2019s missing tooth roots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental implants<\/strong>, on the other hand, do. They\u2019re structured like natural teeth with a crown on top and a titanium implant underneath. The <strong>implant<\/strong> acts like a prosthetic root. Because titanium is a biocompatible metal, the post will eventually bond with the bone in your jaw to create a strong, natural foundation.<\/p>\n<p>There are two phases to a <strong>dental implant<\/strong> procedure. In the first phase, one or more <strong>implant<\/strong> posts will be surgically placed in your jaw. Then, after your <strong>implant<\/strong> has had time to bond with your jaw, your new crown, bridge, partial denture, or full denture can be attached. The entire procedure can take a few months to complete, but the result is a smile that will look and function like a natural smile.<\/p>\n<p>Find out if you\u2019re a candidate for <strong>dental implants<\/strong> with a consultation at <strong>Cranbrook Dental Care<\/strong>.
