Dental implants are an increasingly popular method for replacing missing teeth. In this procedure, the surgeon will use titanium supports and fuse them with your jawbone. This will act as an anchor for natural looking porcelain crowns. Dental implants are not only used for individual tooth replacement, but can also be used when replacing multiple teeth as an alternative to dentures. They may also be used to anchor dentures to create a more solid, natural looking and comfortable fit.

Advantages of dental implants

​

• Implants can be extremely natural looking

• Fusion of the implants into your jaw make them very stable and comfortable compared to dentures or other options.

• Eat all those delicious foods that are difficult to chew. 

• Smile without concern about your teeth.

• Talk and laugh without the fear of missing teeth being noticed or dentures becoming loose or falling out.

• Dental implants can never decay.

• Dental implants have the potential of lasting a lifetime 95% of the time.

• Spare the adjacent teeth to the space from any cutting or modification (like in a dental bridge).

​

Disadvantages of dental implants

​

• Implants can be expensive, though at Atlas Walk Dental we truly keep it reasonably priced for our patients. Also, we spare no effort in utilizing our patients' insurance benefits to cover part of the cost.

• The process of getting implants could require up to three visits or more to the practice.

• There is a chance that an implant may fail (roughly 5% of the time). This mostly occurs when the patient smokes or chews tobacco or have uncontrolled diabetes.
