Dental Implants Provide A Permanent Way To Replace Teeth.
Many of us think that losing our teeth and having an incomplete smile is a certainty of old age, but neither is the case. Natural teeth can last us our whole lives with the proper care and given the right circumstances, although many of these can sometimes be out of our control. But losing a tooth doesn't mean we can't have a complete smile thanks to the treatment options made available to us by our Las Vegas, NV, dentist, namely dental implants. Other treatments offer their own set of benefits, especially when considering every possible variable, but when it comes to appearance, function, and longevity, dental implants rise above the rest. Learn more about treatment options by reaching out to Dr. Robin Lobato and Dr. Sean Truong of R. Lobato & Associates.
Permanent Bond
While other treatments can successfully restore our missing teeth, the main point where dental implants differ is in their approach to support as their aim is to be a complete and permanent restoration.
Just as our natural teeth are held in place by our gums and bone tissue, by implanting a titanium post onto the bone of our jaw dental implants practice a similar strategy. The implant can take months to heal but thanks to a process called osseointegration the bone will grow around the post and permanently secure it.

After the implant has fully healed an abutment is attached to it, and onto this a crown. The end result is a tooth that will look just like our natural teeth, that will function just like them, and that will last a lifetime with proper dental hygiene.
