Dr. Kevin Burgdorf, DDS, and his skilled team in Bridgeton, MO, are at the forefront of implant dentistry, offering personalized, advanced dental care to restore not just your smile, but your confidence and quality of life.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are revolutionary in tooth replacement technology. Consisting of a titanium post that integrates with your jawbone, they serve as a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. This fusion not only provides unparalleled stability but also stimulates bone preservation, preventing the jawbone deterioration that often follows tooth loss.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
The benefits of dental implants are manifold, profoundly impacting both your oral health and overall well-being:
- Natural Look and Feel: Designed to mimic your natural teeth, implants restore your smile with results so lifelike, you might forget they’re not your original teeth.
- Improved Oral Function: Regain the ability to eat, speak, and laugh without worry. Implants offer a stability that dentures and bridges can’t match, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and converse without discomfort.
- Preservation of Jawbone and Facial Structure: By stimulating bone growth, implants prevent the jawbone’s shrinkage, maintaining your facial structure and preventing the “sunken” look associated with tooth loss.
- Durability and Reliability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective, long-term solution for missing teeth.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Unlike bridges that require altering adjacent teeth, implants stand alone without affecting surrounding teeth, supporting better overall oral health.
