Dental implants an alternative to dentures and dental bridges

How dental implants work

Dental implantation begins with the placing of titanium post into your jawbone. Implant dentists like Dr. Joseph Tartagni at Shoreline Dental Care in West Haven and Milford CT have received specialized training which allows them to perform this form of dental surgery to comfortably implant metal posts on which your new teeth can be formed.

Dental bridges and dentures

While traditional dentures and dental bridges have certainly earned the respect and thanks of many people who have lost their teeth from disease or injury, they are only temporary solution. Dentures generally need replacing as your gums shrink and your mouth changes shape.

Dental implants are permanent

When you have a new tooth built onto a titanium base, it stays there. It becomes your own tooth in the same way you natural teeth are your own. Dental implants grow with your jawbone, keeping it from the deterioration and shrinkage that is inevitable when teeth are missing.
