Wilmington Dental Implants

Over the past twenty years, dental implants have become a desirable method for replacing missing teeth. Because of their excellent success rate and wide range of options, dental implants provide dentists with a number of innovative ways to treat and replace lost teeth.

A dental implant is a titanium-based cylinder that replaces a missing tooth root. Once an implant is inserted, other parts can be placed on the implant to enable a dentist to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant. Implants are also used to support full or partial dentures, thus dramatically improving denture retention and stability.

Your Wilmington implant dentist can evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Prior to getting an implant, an examination is performed to determine if a patient has enough bone mass for a dental implant. An X-ray and CT-scan can be performed to determine if a patient has the bone density necessary to support an implant, as well as to verify the size and kind of implant that should be placed.

With a dental implant in place, followed by a cap or denture procedure, you can expect to enjoy years of satisfaction knowing they will be looking their best when they smile.
