Q: How do dental implants work?
A: Dental implants work using the magic of osseointegration, which means they become one with your jaw bone. Over a period of four to eight months, the titanium implant gradually integrates in the mouth for unsurpassed stability for the tooth replacement (a crown, bridge, or denture) that sits on top.Q: How do dental implants compare to other, cheaper options?
A: It’s true that there are cheaper alternatives in tooth replacements. But patients who have chosen dental implants realize it is worth the investment to have a complete, stable smile and continued oral health. Non-implant supported options just don’t provide adequate stability — and the prosthetic device will require frequent re-fittings as the mouth degenerates and loses its shape.
