Are Dental Implants Right for Your Smile Needs?

Posted .

If your smile confidence has suffered because of missing permanent teeth, you are not alone. At First Dental of Bluffton, we have helped our patients with lost teeth to regain their confidence as well as their oral health through the help of dental implants.

This tooth restoration works by surgically implanting a titanium post (to replicate the lost tooth root) into the jawbone beneath the gum line. This provides a strong foundation and allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a dental bridge. Let’s take a look at what dental implants have to offer you in Bluffton, South Carolina.

-Dental implants not only mimic your natural teeth but they preserve a youthful appearance as they successfully maintain your facial profile.

-Dental implants preserve jawbone structure that begins deteriorating when healthy teeth are lost. They also prevent your surrounding teeth from shifting, so they stabilize your gums as well.

-Dental implants are a durable, sturdy tooth restoration as they are securely mounted into the jawbone. This gives you a long-lasting hold even as you eat your favorite, hard to chew foods, including steak.

To learn whether dental implants could be the restoration your smile needs, please call our First Dental of Bluffton team at 843-757-2828. We invite you to schedule your evaluation with one of our experienced dentists, Dr. Tae Chul Ho, Dr. Sueyoung Chi, or Dr. Michael A. Sortito. We are excited to show you how dental implants can restore your confident smile!
