Las Vegas patients who are missing teeth are often concerned about the various options available to restore them. When teeth are extracted or lost, they need to be replaced as soon as possible to ensure there is no movement of the existing teeth. Additionally, it can restore the function and beauty of the smile. Dr. Christopher Lim of Hillside Dental is a dedicated dentist who offers implant dentistry for patients seeking permanent restoration.

Dental implants are highly desirable for patients who are interested in a long-term solution to their tooth loss. Dr. Christopher Lim and his team encourage patients to consider implants because they offer a strong alternative when compared to dentures or dental bridges. While dentures and dental bridges may be perfect for some patients, others who are appropriate candidates for dental implants may prefer them.

Dental implants are posts made of titanium. They are placed into the bone of the jaw and can be restored in a variety of ways. When replacing a single tooth, they will be restored using a dental crown made of porcelain. This crown is custom-fabricated to match the color, shape, and size of the existing teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace several teeth. They can be used as an anchor for a dental bridge or a full denture. Because they are placed into the jawbone, they derive their exceptional strength in this manner.

Dr. Christopher Lim of Las Vegas is extremely proud to provide his patients with in-house implant dentistry solutions. Placement of the implant can be done right in his practice as well as the restoration. Instead of referring patients out to an oral surgeon, everything can be handled right at Hillside Dental with the team patients already know and trust.

Implant dentistry can provide a long-term tooth replacement option for men and women.
