Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance. They can affect your ability to chew, speak, and feel confident in your everyday life. At JBH Smiles, we believe that every patient deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. Dental implants are one of the most effective and long-lasting solutions to replace missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics.
Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Once placed into the jawbone, they provide a strong foundation for custom restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike removable prosthetics, implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Most adults who have lost one or more teeth are potential candidates for implants. Ideal candidates should have:
• Healthy gums
• Adequate jawbone density to support the implant
• A commitment to good oral hygiene
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting may make implants possible.
The process of getting dental implants begins with a thorough consultation and exam. During this initial visit, we assess your oral health, take digital images, and determine whether you are a good candidate for implants.
Once you are ready to proceed, the next step is implant placement. A titanium post is surgically positioned into the jawbone, where it acts as a secure foundation for your future restoration.
After placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to fuse naturally with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, typically takes several months and ensures long-term stability.
Finally, when the implant has fully integrated, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore your smile. The end result is a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth that functions just like your own.
Choosing dental implants offers many advantages, including:
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime.
• Natural Appearance: They are custom-crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
• Improved Function: Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
• Jawbone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
• Confidence Boost: A restored smile can dramatically improve self-esteem.
