At Aesthetic Dentistry of Bernardsville, we believe in changing lives one smile at a time. One way we do this is through transformational dental treatments that restore the function of teeth and improve their appearance. Dealing with something like tooth loss can be traumatizing, especially if it occurred many years ago and the tooth has not been replaced. Our goal is to offer support and help our patients determine the tooth replacement option that is right for their needs. Our first recommendation is always dental implants. Our practice is unique in that we can complete each stage of treatment in our office, so there is no need to visit other offices or specialists.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the best alternative to natural teeth because they look and function much like your own teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically implanted into the jawbone, mimicking the function of a natural tooth root. Over time, this prosthesis fuses with the bone to create a permanent solution. The process is often finished with a dental crown. Implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
When patients are missing a tooth or multiple teeth, it can affect everyday life. It can be difficult for patients to chew and enjoy their favorite foods. Patients may also experience difficulty speaking properly. Dental implants restore the complete function of the teeth, allowing patients to speak and chew normally. Patients are able to enjoy foods that they may not have been able to eat for years. Implants also help the jawbone by providing the stimulation needed to ensure optimal bone health. Other benefits include:
- Improved self-esteem
- Permanent solution
- Blends in with natural teeth
- Long-lasting
Dental implants are a wonderful tooth replacement option and have truly changed the lives of many of our patients. If you are located in the Bernardsville, NJ area and are interested in learning more about dental implants, please call our office today to schedule an appointment.
