Dental Implants
Shelburne, Dental
Have you been missing one or more teeth and are tired of loose dentures?
Dental implants from Shelburne Downtown Dental could be the answer you’ve been looking for. As your Shelburne dentist, we offer dental implant procedures that give you a natural-looking smile.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the closest thing to natural replacement for missing teeth. Made of biocompatible materials like titanium, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone where the root of a tooth would normally be. Once integrated with the bone, they provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth (called abutments) to attach to, acting just like real roots. Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth after the restoration.
Are you a Candidate for Implants?
To be a candidate for dental implants, you need to have adequate bone in the jaw area where teeth are missing to support the implant. Our dentist in Shelburne will do a thorough examination to assess whether your oral health and bone structure are suitable. Factors like general health, gum disease, smoking, etc., are also evaluated. Implants are usually not possible for people with certain medical conditions.
Benefits of Dental Implants

Implants and crowns on them look and behave like your real teeth.
2. Improved functiong
You can eat, speak and smile confidently without dentures that may slip..
3. Preserve bone density
Replacing teeth’ root function, implants help maintain the jawbone, which may recede with dentures over time.
4. No need for bridges or dentures
Implants directly replace missing teeth root function, unlike bridges, which rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
5. Long-lasting solution
When orally cared for as directed, implants can last 15-20 years or more.

Getting Implants with Invisalign
For patients looking to straighten teeth with clear aligners, our dentist can coordinate implant placement with Invisalign treatment for seamless restoration of missing teeth. Invisalign involves wearing nearly invisible, removable aligners to shift teeth into their right positions gradually. After straightening, implants can be placed into healed sites to replace missing teeth and support the new beautiful smile.
