What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an advanced tooth replacement option for people with a single missing tooth, or many, caused by poor dental hygiene, excessive wear and tear, or an injury. They provide an exciting restorative option because they feel, function and appear like natural teeth, while preserving the healthy areas of your smile.
With dental implants there is no need to modify the healthy parts of your smile! Because the implant consists of small screws designed to anchor directly into the jawbone, keeping your bite strong and sturdy, they do not need to be anchored to healthy teeth like a dental bridge. And unlike a dental bridge, when a dental crown is placed on top of the implant, no visible metal traces are left behind to affect the cosmetic appearance of your smile.
Our high-tech dental implants consist of a bio-compatible surface, meaning that your body will accept the implant without causing any negative bodily response. This bio-compatibility encourages bone to attach to the implant, mimicking the permanence and stability of a natural tooth. Best of all, Dr. Li has made it so that the cost of implants is quite affordable and priced to be an attractive denture alternative.
Dr. Li’s Dental Implant & Smile Center has incredible promotions and financing available, so you can worry less about the cost of implants and can simply look forward to having a perfect smile!
Advantages of Dental Implants:
Look and feel younger
When you lose a single tooth, your jawbone shrinks because there is nothing to fill in the gap where your former tooth sat. Losing multiple teeth in one area of your mouth can shrink the jawbone substantially, leaving your face looking much older, while altering your bite. With dental implants, you can prevent the shrinking of gum tissue and the jawbone that sometimes occurs when the patient has removable dentures or missing teeth. Our high-tech dental implants fuse with bone and old tooth roots, giving you a stronger, healthier smile that won’t change your facial structure.
Talk like you should
Unlike non implant supported dentures, a dental implant and crown won’t cause slurring and mumbling when you talk. All that shifting and sliding associated with removable dentures are eliminated, because dental implants are fused directly into your jaw, securing them in place like an organic tooth.
Eat what you like
Due to the extraordinary stability of a dental implant, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods that you wouldn’t be able to with dentures. Hard to eat foods such as corn on the cob and apples become trouble-free when your bite feels safe and secure. Our affordable dental implants allow you to chew your food properly, without having to worry about denture movements—improving taste and your ability to fulfill proper nutrition through a much larger variety of foods.
Confidence boosting smile
You don’t have to hide your smile for fear that it looks unnatural, or out of place. With our high-tech implants, you don’t need to touch the healthy parts of your smile, leaving it’s natural appearance preserved. Dental implants are well-anchored and designed to be indistinguishable from your natural teeth, making them an ideal replacement.
Easy-to-Maintain
Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place permanently so you can maintain with standard dental tools. Expensive denture hygiene products, such as adhesives or cleaners, are unnecessary with dental implants. All you need is a tooth brush and toothpaste–a normal dental hygiene method!
Smile healthier
When you’re missing one or multiple teeth, the remaining ones tend to shift or weaken over time from increased stress caused during regular activities such as eating and talking, and your jawbone starts to deteriorate. Dental implants are designed to mimic the form and function of your natural teeth, meaning you have a stronger bite, and better look than a denture alternative.
Designed and built to last
With proper care, and the expert installation from one of our doctors, dental implants can last much longer than dentures—sometimes even a lifetime! Old-fashioned removable dentures must be replaced every few years, look unnatural, limit what you can eat, and are a hassle to maintain. Because dental implants are bonded to the bone, becoming a part of your jaw, they are a secure and permanent tooth replacement solution.
