Benefits of Dental Implants in Buffalo, NY

Dental implants are a recent development in dental procedures that can help a patient achieve that perfect smile.  Removable dentures can slip and make noise.  Fixed bridges are anchored to other teeth and are can be a hassle long term.  Another drawback of using other teeth to anchor the bridgework is that they can affect the healthy teeth you have!  Another drawback to dentures is that they can cause bone loss.  Both removable dentures and fixed bridgework have to be replaced every 7 to 15 years.

Dental implants are a more permanent solution to achieve that smile you always dreamed of.  Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone.  The dental implants are composed of titanium metal that are fused to the jawbone through a process called “osseointegration”.

The best reason to consider this solution is that through proper dental care the dental implants can last a lifetime!  If you would like to find out whether dental implants are right for you please call us at Brighton Dental today at (716) 836-4590.  We will answer any questions you have and setup a convenient time to discuss your options with one of our dentists.
