Non-Shrinking Possibilities

Once the titanium anchor is placed in the bone to function much like a natural tooth root . . .
When a tooth is extracted, the ridge of alveolar bone that once held it in place begins to shrink (resorb). As a result, an overlying denture will increasingly find itself on an unstable foundation. This leads to the denture becoming looser and looser until it eventually has to be refitted re-fabricated. For this reason alone, many patients turn to dental implants to replace lost teeth. This prosthetic device so closely approximates the look and function of a natural tooth root that is minimizes bone resorption. Once the titanium anchor is placed in the bone to function much like a natural tooth root, it becomes integrated with the bone, thereby minimizing bone loss. This provides a solid anchor for replacement teeth.

Implants can be used to anchor a denture (containing several teeth) in place, or it can hold a single replacement tooth.
