What is a dental implant?

A dental implant acts as an anchor for a false tooth or a set of false teeth; simply put, it is a metal screw that is placed into the jaw bone.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

Anyone in reasonable health who wants to replace missing teeth may be a candidate for dental implants. You must have enough bone in the area of the missing teeth to provide anchorage for the implant. Generally, implants are used to replace small bridges, removable partial dentures, and single missing teeth.

What is the success rate of dental implants?

The success rate for all implants placed at Alpha Plus Dental in the last 5 years has been as high as 99% or above. Generally, success rates for implants are highest in the front portion of the lower jaw; however, implants tend to be extremely effective in other areas of the mouth as well.

Why have dental implants become so popular?

As our life span increases, the need for some type of permanent dental replacement system becomes very important to our overall health. Dentures and removable bridges have some obvious problems, including being loose and unstable. Implants can provide an individual with dental replacements that are both functional and aesthetically complementary. The demand was always there - we just needed the tools to fulfill that demand.
