Implant Dentures
Keizer, OR
 Implant-supported dentures represent a significant departure from traditional dentures, offering enhanced stability and support by connecting to dental implants. Unlike conventional dentures that rely solely on gum support, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored, providing superior strength At Keizer Family Dental, we highly recommend them for their durability and stability.
Understanding Dental Implant Technology
Dental implants are meticulously crafted structures made of synthetic materials strategically placed beneath oral tissues. These implants serve as a solid foundation, offering stability and support for fixed or removable dental prostheses. By attaching dentures to securely installed implants, we provide a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.
Exploring Dental Implants
Dental implants are advanced medical devices surgically placed in the jaw to improve chewing ability and restore appearance. These implants support artificial teeth, ensuring a reliable and natural-looking solution. Consisting of a dental implant body, abutment, and dental crown, the implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace the tooth root.
The Functionality of Dental Implants
Dental implants are securely fastened to the jawbone, taking the place of missing tooth roots. Crafted from durable titanium, these implants provide a sturdy foundation for various dental prosthetics. Over time, the bone gradually grows around the dental implant, contributing to its stability and integration within the jaw structure.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth, boasting a success rate exceeding 97 percent over a decade. They also help prevent bone loss that often follows tooth loss and maintain the health of surrounding teeth by preventing shifting.
