DENTAL IMPLANT: Implants-BrandyWineDentalServices

Do you have missing teeth? If so, it is imperative that you replace them. Missing teeth can make it harder to chew and eat and can affect your nutrition. Absent teeth can also weaken your bite leading to pain and discomfort, and over time, other teeth can shift making tooth replacement in the future difficult if not impossible. 

Dental implants are the best way to replace your missing teeth. And, when adequately taken care of and maintained, your implants can last a lifetime.  

We also use implants to anchor dentures, especially lower dentures, which have a tendency to shift when talking or chewing.

What Is a Dental Implant?

Implants are composed of two parts. The first part is the titanium implant body that takes on the role of the missing root.  This is the part of the implant that you can't see, as it is placed into the jaw.  The second part is the implant crown. An implant crown is a fabricated tooth constructed of porcelain and metal that looks just like a natural tooth.  Fitted on to the top of the implant, this part looks and performs just like a natural tooth. It’s actually pretty cool when you think about it!

Many of our patients are concerned that others will be able to notice that they have an implant with an artificial tooth. Let us put your worries at ease - Implants look and feel just like your natural tooth.  You can smile with pride and confidence again. No one will ever know your little secret!
