Dental Implant News in Deerfield Beach, Florida

There is good news for people in Deerfield Beach, Florida. If you’ve lost one or more teeth due to periodontal disease (or some other reason), there is hope.

Dental implants offer a new way to ‘fix smiles’  and the reality is that these implants are changing the way people live! And that is especially true at the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants where we’ve been helping patients rediscover ‘the smile and the bite’ they used to have.

What are dental implants exactly?

Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.

An implant is a metal anchor that is placed in the jawbone. Once integrated with your bone, the implant can be used to support a crown, a bridge or secure a removable appliance.

The dental implants we use are root-form implants, which means that they are used to replace natural tooth roots in areas of the mouth where teeth are missing.

And what are the benefits of dental implants?

There are many benefits to having dental implants. When teeth are lost, ongoing shrinkage of the jawbone occurs, which can cause the face to look older. This shrinkage can also make adequate fit of a partial or full denture difficult.

Placing implants can slow or stop this process. Dental implants look, feel and function like natural teeth and offer a tremendous improvement in comfort, speech, eating and convenience over conventional partial and full dentures.
