Dental Implants

With growing tooth problems in the United States many people are opting for tooth implant surgery. Replacing a missing tooth, or multiple teeth, have given patients an effective way to look good, feel secure in their smile, or secure loose fitting dentures that have caused them embarrassment and discomfort.

A dental implant consists of a very precise titanium post and a porcelain tooth, like a crown that mimics the natural tooth. When placed into the socket left by a missing tooth a secure foundation is formed. Dr Burton can than place a dental implant restoration over the implant. Dental implants can replace individual teeth or secure a prosthetic appliance, like a bridge or a denture.

Compared to other procedures, dental implants offer many benefits. They are more stable than traditional dentures and are easy to clean and maintain as natural teeth. Because dental implants are integrated into the jaw, they stimulate bone and prevent gum recession.
