The Beauty of Implant Dentistry

One of the most revolutionary developments in the world of cosmetic dentistry is the dental implant. For individuals with missing teeth, dental implants can make a dramatic difference in both appearance and oral health. Usually crafted from ultra-durable titanium, dental implants serve as artificial roots onto which single or multiple replacement teeth are anchored. Implants can also be used with removable dentures to add stability. At the Somerset office of Dr. Kosmas Kasimatis, we are experience with the placement and restoration of dental implants.

How are Dental Implants Placed?

In the past, it could take months for successful placement of dental implants. These days, implants can be placed in a single session thanks to high-tech keyhole surgery. What’s more, modern techniques for placing dental implants have less of an impact on soft tissue — meaning a faster, more comfortable recovery. Once the artificial roots are installed into the upper and/or lower jaw bone and the implant has been given time to fuse to the bone, the replacement teeth are attached.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants can change your smile — and your quality of life — for the better. There is an array of benefits associated with dental implants, including:

• Stronger jaw bone and more support for facial structure; no sunken appearance or premature wrinkles around the mouth due to missing teeth.
• Increased confidence
• Prevention of shifting teeth due to empty spaces 
• No messy adhesives required 
• Replacement teeth that look natural

While there is an aesthetic component to dental implants, that’s not the only reason to consider them. In addition to giving you a more beautiful smile, implants can actually save you time and money. The reason for this is because unlike other types of cosmetic dentistry, implants are easily restored without prep work and last for many years. Dental implants are an investment — not only in a better appearance but also greater confidence and improved oral health.
