IMPLANTS

At Brunswick Family Dentistry, we have modern tooth replacement solutions to replace missing teeth. Many of our patients prefer dental implants to restore their smiles. 

Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement because they permanently restore your smile’s function and appearance. With our help, you can experience the joy and comfort of having a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts for many years to come.

Our teeth serve an essential purpose, and each has its own distinctive function. 

One or more missing teeth can negatively affect your comfort, oral health, and confidence.

Also, a missing tooth can lead to: 

• Tooth migration and misalignment, which will disrupt your bite 
• Discomfort and excessive wear on your remaining teeth
• Degeneration of healthy bone tissue in the jaw

When you have an incomplete smile, normal daily activities can be a hassle and ultimately impact your quality of life. Tooth loss makes eating, speaking, and socializing challenging and uncomfortable. A dental implant that replaces a missing tooth, or several missing teeth, promotes better oral health and wellness. 

A dental implant is a replacement titanium tooth root your dentist surgically places in the jawbone. When the jaw heals, we top the implant with a dental crown or bridge to restore your mouth’s natural function, appearance, and comfort.

Dental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth, and they become a natural part of your denture structure through a process called osseointegration. You no longer have to worry about slippage or shifting, as denture wearers often do.

It functions exactly like a natural tooth root and prevents the deterioration of the bone that often occurs after losing a tooth.

Healing time varies from patient to patient. The entire process can take anywhere between three to twelve months. However, patience is key because the implant needs time to establish its utmost strength and stability. Countless patients have told us that the wait has been well worth it because they now have gorgeous smiles designed to last for life!
