A great smile leaves a lasting impression on others and gives you a boost in confidence. Brushing, nutritious eating, and dental cleanings are important factors in developing and maintaining a healthy and attractive smile. unfortunately, age, injury, or decay can sometimes get in the way of your oral health.

If you have teeth that require removal or have fallen out, dental implants from Dr. Bhavin Patel and Dr. Kevin Carey of Seaview Dental Arts in Galloway, NJ, can restore your smile to its healthiest and most beautiful condition.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants consist of small screw-shaped posts, which are secured into your jaw bone to act as the root for an artificial tooth. The post fuses with your jaw and becomes as secure as your natural teeth. 

What can dental implants fix?

A dental implant can be used to replace a tooth that has fallen out completely, or which is damaged or decayed beyond repair and requires removal.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants offer aesthetic and oral health benefits in addition to being convenient, durable, and permanent.

By using an artificial tooth (crown) that matches the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, dental implants are discreet and attractive, blending right in with your smile. Dental implants fill the void left by a missing tooth and offer support to your mouth and improve your oral health by preventing bacteria from growing in the void and spreading to your neighboring tooth, which can cause further decay. This also supports your facial muscles so they don't sag.

Because dental implants are permanent, you won't have to remove them for eating and cleaning. They become a part of your mouth. You won't even notice they are there. Dental implants are strong, so you can bite and chew any food you like, and can be cared for just like your natural teeth, with brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings and exams at our Galloway, NJ, office.
