General Dental Implant Information
Dental implants are titanium or ceramic screw-like posts that are inserted into the jawbone. They permanently support a single dental crown, a dental bridge, or a full arch prosthesis.
Dental implants are the only permanent way to replace one or more missing teeth. They provide an over 99% return to biting and chewing function, in addition to looking completely natural.
Dental implants have retained a 95% success rate since their first use decades ago. At Same Day Smile Designs, our expertise and quality care raise this success rate to 99%.
You can take care of your dental implants just like you would real teeth. This means brushing twice a day and flossing once a day.
Many factors can influence the lifespan of dental implants, but in general dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. By maintaining professional appointments, and good oral and physical health habits, dental implants have the potential to last the rest of your life.
