Of all the ways modern dentistry has to replace missing teeth, dental implants are by far the best.
There is no tooth-replacement option that will give you a longer-lasting result.
Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost.
Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth.
A dental implant most often takes the form of a small, screw-shaped titanium post that replaces the root-part of a missing tooth.
The surgical procedure used to place an implant is actually quite minor and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases.

The dental implant is today's state-of-the-art tooth replacement method.
It consists of a very small titanium post (the actual implant), which is attached to a lifelike dental crown.
The crown is the only part of this tooth-replacement system that is visible in your mouth.
The implant itself rests beneath your gum line in the bony socket that used to hold your missing tooth.
Two, four or more implants can be used to support multiple crowns, or even an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth.

If you have lost any of your teeth, you no doubt realize there are consequences to living without them: Your smile may not look the way you want it to; eating, speaking and intimacy may be more difficult; and your self-confidence may fade.
Though serious, these are not the only impacts.
There are hidden consequences of losing teeth that affect not only your appearance but also your health.
Importantly, a loss of jawbone inevitably follows tooth loss.
Bone needs stimulation to maintain its form and density.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that replace the roots of missing teeth (View Example).
They are inserted into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure that takes place in the dental office.
After the implant has been placed in your jawbone, a completely lifelike porcelain tooth crown is attached.
In some cases, the implant needs to fuse with the bone for several months before it is permanently crowned; in other cases, you can have new (but temporary) teeth the same day your implants are placed.

Replacement teeth supported by dental implants function so well and last so long because, like natural teeth, they are securely anchored in the jawbone for maximum support.
In order to benefit from this remarkable technology, however, you need to have enough tooth-supporting bone in your jaw to hold a dental implant in place.
Unfortunately, after tooth loss, the surrounding bone almost always deteriorates - decreasing in width, height and density - and this process starts immediately.
The longer a tooth has been missing, the more the bone that used to surround it resorbs (melts away).
