Dental Implants
Tooth loss can happen to anyone at any time. In fact, statistics show that 69% of adults have lost at least one tooth. When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, one solution stands out above the rest. Dental implants represent the merger of modern medical science and dentistry, and they allow patients with healthy bone structure to permanently replace missing teeth, as well as missing tooth roots. From his Miamisburg dental office, Dr. Striebel performs all phases of implant therapy, including implant placement.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant consists of a titanium anchor and a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture. Titanium has been used for decades in the medical field, because of its unique ability to interact with bone tissue. The bone grows around the titanium, just as though it was a naturally occurring tissue in the body. Dr. Striebel places the implant into the jawbone, and once it has fully integrated, he attaches the replacement tooth.
Are dental implants safe?
Dental implants are backed by over 30 years of research, and they have maintained a 98% success rate. However, dental implants are not right for every situation. Dr. Striebel will carefully examine your medical history and your oral health to determine your candidacy.
How long will dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last long-term. They’re anchored in the jawbone, so neighboring teeth don’t strain to support them, like with bridges and partials. Also, dental implants curb bone loss, so they promote a well-fitting denture. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last patients for a lifetime.
