A dental implant specialist is a professional who has experience in providing implants. Dr. Christopher Lim is a dentist at Hillside Dental who encourages patients to consider the benefits of dental implants and having them inserted and restored under one roof. His practice is all about helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy, and fully functional smiles with a team of professionals ready to assist.
Dental implants are restorations that are used to replace missing teeth. They can replace a single tooth or several teeth, depending on how they are used. A dental implant can be put into the bone of the jaw and then restored with a crown to replace a single tooth. Otherwise, patients may use implants to anchor the ends of a dental bridge or to stabilize a full denture. This titanium post has several advantages over alternative tooth replacement solutions. Implants are:
Easily accessible
Made of biocompatible materials
Strong
Known for lasting a lifetime
Easy to care for
Best for maintaining bone structure
Dr. Christopher Lim encourages patients to move forward with dental implants whenever possible because of these benefits. Patients may invest more upfront, but will find that these restorations are most appropriate in many situations. Additionally, the cost over time is much lower than bridges and dentures, which require replacement and adjustment on a regular basis.
Patients who are interested in dental implants will have to undergo a series of x-rays to ensure they are proper candidates for these restorations. We will discuss possible alternatives if they fail to meet the requirements.
