What Are Dental Implants?

Restoring the smile after tooth loss is an important step in achieving a more beautiful smile after trauma or extraction has occurred. Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. are here to give patients many options to improve their smile after this has happened, including dentures, dental bridges, and even dental implants.

Many patients ask, what are dental implants? Implants are titanium posts which look like screws which are placed into the jawbone during oral surgery. Bone growth is stimulated around the implant to hold it in place, and a dental crown, bridge, or denture is used to restore the top. Dental implants are the best option out there for many patients because they are permanent, non-removable, and function just as natural teeth do. This is why patients who visit Miami Modern Dental often request to learn more about this method of tooth replacement and take the time to work with a dental professional to determine if they are appropriate candidates. The best suited individuals for dental implants are those with an otherwise healthy smile and sufficient bone for successful placement. Drs. Marlon Pasquier, Sr. and Marlon Pasquier, Jr. can use x-rays for better determination. If patients are not deemed good candidates for dental implants, alternatives may be considered.
