More and more people in the West Haven and Milford CT area are choosing dental implants over dentures and dental bridges.

Dental implants
Dental implants are titanium posts which your implant dentist surgically places into your jawbone. This new tooth can stand alone to replace one missing tooth, or it can serve as an anchor tooth for a dental bridge or as an anchor for dentures.

Advantages to choosing dental implants

Dental implants can stand alone as beautiful replacement teeth, and are routinely used to replace one or two missing teeth. When a dental implant anchors a dental bridge, a natural tooth does not have to be sacrificed. Typically, dental bridges to replace missing teeth are attached to a surviving neighboring tooth. When a dental bridge is anchored to a dental implant no natural teeth are involved, and the anchor is actually stronger than a natural tooth!

Dental implants can also secure dentures, offering a reliable cure for slippage and discomfort. With strategically placed implants, your implant dentist can fit you with dentures that feel more natural and permanent than you can imagine! If you would like to eliminate the need for dentures or dental bridges altogether, your implant dentist at Shoreline Dental Care can even give you an entire mouth full of brand new teeth!

Choosing dental implants

Only your implant dentist at Shoreline Dental Care can tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Your jawbone must have enough mass to support the titanium implants. There are certain medical conditions or diseases that may cause concern and your implant dentist will take these issues into account when evaluating your suitability for dental implants. By imitating an entire natural tooth, dental implants simulate the beauty of natural teeth, resulting in improved function, a great new smile, and renewed confidence.

For folks in West Haven and Milford CT, choosing dental implants is convenient and practically just around the corner at Shoreline Dental Care! When titanium implants secure your dentures or dental bridges, or even replace them, dental implants can change more than your smile. Choosing dental implants can change your life!
