Dental Implants

Implants are the preferred choice to replace missing teeth. This is because they are made of titanium and are predictable, with a 95% success rate. Titanium is biocompatible, so the body will not reject the material. Therefore, it doesn't give way to negative side effects. Because of this, an implant is a long-term solution to replacing missing teeth and gives patients a beautiful smile that they can be proud of.

The titanium cylinder is surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as a base for a dental crown, fixed bridge, or denture. The strength that titanium provides allows the implant to serve as a replacement for a long time, and it gives the patient the ability to chew and speak normally. When a crown is placed over the implant, it looks like a natural tooth and no one can tell that any work has been done. A replacement tooth will blend in with the patient's existing teeth and allow them to feel confident that they have a good-looking smile.

Dental implants are also a great solution for keeping dentures in place, to give denture wearers the stability they need, preventing the dentures from moving around in the mouth. Keeping them sturdy helps the patient smile and speak more clearly and confidently, knowing that their dentures are firmly in place and won't slip out unexpectedly.

Here at Portmore Dental Office, we also do mini dental implants, which is a very unique practice in dentistry. We have years of experience, and have a CT scanner on site which allows us to do a high volume of implants. We also have a lab on site, so the patient can meet the technician who will design and produce the implant.

Our office also uses various new technologies such as PRGF (platelet rich growth factor), which increases patient comfort and speed the healing process for implants. Our BTI scan provides more comprehensive information than a CT scan. Using these technologies and the expertise of our experienced team, we even fix teeth in a day, which include fixing problems such as gaps, missing teeth, and placing dentures. Patients can walk out of the office at the end of the day with fixed teeth.
