Dental implants in Milford, MA 01757

If you are missing one or more teeth, you understand how it can affect not only your ability to chew and speak but also your self-esteem. Fortunately, dental implants offer an exceptional solution for tooth replacement, functioning as artificial tooth roots that provide a strong and durable foundation for a natural-looking restoration. At 222 Main Street Dental in Milford, our experienced dentists can determine if you are an ideal candidate for dental implants, guiding you through the process of restoring your smile and oral health.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically inserted into the jawbone and constructed of biocompatible titanium. Osseointegration, a procedure in which the implants fuse with the bone, transforms them into a strong and durable foundation for a dental repair like a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are a growingly popular option for replacing missing teeth because they provide various benefits over other tooth replacement solutions.

Bone Grafts for Optimal Implant Success

In some cases, patients may have experienced bone loss in the area where the dental implant is to be placed, especially if the tooth has been missing for an extended period or due to other factors. Bone loss can compromise the stability and success of the implant. In such situations, a bone graft may be recommended. A bone graft involves adding bone material to "build up" the bone structure, providing a solid foundation for the dental implant to fuse with the jawbone successfully.
