Titanium implants are a wonderful way for patients to restore oral functionality and health. Las Vegas, NV area patients are welcome to visit the team of Hillside Dental to determine if they are a candidate for titanium implants to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are titanium restorations that replace tooth roots. They are surgically implanted into the bone of the jaw where the tooth once was, and are restored with a crown, denture, or bridge, depending on the needs of the patient. Dr. Christopher Lim of Hillside Dental finds that many patients like dental implants because they are a permanent solution that functions efficiently for eating and speaking. They look natural and are a wonderful investment.
It is important for patients to be assessed by a qualified dentist to determine if they are a good candidate for the placement of dental implants. Dental implants are not for everyone. The best patient for a dental implant is one who has sufficient bone structure to hold the implant in place successfully. Without a proper foundation, dental implants may not be successful. Patients may want to consider alternatives such as bridges or dentures, or speak to their dentist about the possibility of bone grafting to prepare their smile for implants.
If you have considered the benefits of dental implants and are interested in learning more, now is a great time to connect with a local dental team that can assist.
