Dental Implants Baton Rouge
Missing teeth spoil the look of your smile. They also have a negative impact on oral health and overall wellness. Dr. Kurt LeJeune offers a long-term tooth replacement solution at Cypress Dental in Baton Rouge, LA – dental implants.What is an implant?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into jawbone, where it becomes firmly embedded in a process called osseointegration. The implant serves as an anchor for a crown, to replace a single missing tooth. Two dental implants can hold a fixed dental bridge, replacing up to three consecutive missing teeth. As few as four implants provide wonderful stability to a full denture. (As an added benefit, the top arch does not cover the palate.)Benefits of dental implants
- Precision planning and placement for predictable results.
- Implant restorations look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, and require only normal care – daily brush and flossing, and regular dental checkups.
- Implant-supported dentures will not slip, wobble, click, or pop out.
- With good oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Zirconium: The natural choice
Dr. LeJeune utilizes non-metal zirconium dental implants. This material is less reactive than titanium, and white Z-system implants do not show a dark line at the gum. Yet they are strong and durable in all applications and for any area of the mouth. The unique Z-system implant design and material is easily shaped in the mouth, similar to shaping a natural tooth to receive a crown. Because this is a single-component system (traditional implants have two parts), it is cleaner, with less risk of bacterial intrusion.For many patients, dental implants are an ideal replacement solution for missing teeth.
