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 trusted Shelburne dentist, we offer high-quality 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 experienced 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.
