Dental Implants Are Changing The Way People in Ft. Lauderdale Live.

Dental implants are changing the way people live – and that’s good news for people in Ft. Lauderdale and Deerfield Beach and other parts of Broward County.

With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. The simple fact is that when you have problems with your teeth and gums, it really can affect many parts of your daily life. Issues with talking, eating and the associated self-conciousness that comes with knowing there is a consistent problem can be unsettling.

Why is That?

Dental 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.

Remind me Again, What Exactly Are Implants?

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 used by most dentists and dental specialists are root-form implants, which means that they are used to replace natural tooth roots in areas of the mouth where teeth are missing. Dental implants provide an exciting option for people missing some or all of their teeth.

And the Benefits?

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.
