Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is made of titanium and shaped like a screw. The implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. With Dr. Markowitz using the Astra Tech implant system, you are able to get long lasting teeth that work, feel and look like natural ones.

Why are dental implants the best option for replacing missing teeth?

Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling; you may even forget you ever had a missing tooth. The confidence you have about your teeth affect how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Maybe you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Perhaps your dentures don’t feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence than dental implants are what you need! Under proper conditions, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for implants.
