Dental Implants for Permanent Tooth Replacement 

Dental implants permanently replace missing tooth roots with titanium posts. They consist of three main components: the implant post, abutment, and prosthesis. 

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. Dr Henderson understands the advantages of providing patients with better quality of life. Mealtime can be a hassle for those struggling with ill-fitting dentures or missing teeth. 

Dental implants mimic the functionality of tooth roots, providing essential stability for biting, chewing and speaking. They also offer extra support for prosthetic teeth while masticating and protecting the integrity of surrounding teeth and the jawbone. 

Missing teeth can create a collapsed appearance in the face, premature wrinkles and reduced lip support. Also, adjacent teeth can shift into the empty spaces left behind, altering your bite. However, a dental implant may be the durable and effective solution you need. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

While most healthy adults are eligible for dental implants, some health conditions can change the effectiveness of the implants. When you visit our office to discuss dental implants, we will ask you a number of questions about your health history.

These questions are important to help us determine whether dental implants are the right option for you. Don’t worry – even if you do have a health concern, we are likely to still be able to work with you. We just need to know about it so that we can account for it and take any necessary precautions.
