Implants are an integral part of modern dentistry and may be the best option when you are missing a single tooth or many teeth. Winning Smiles specializes in implant dentistry in Western New York.
A dental implant mimics nature: like a natural root, it is firmly anchored in the jaw and holds the tooth in place. The implant is a small part made of titanium or titanium zirconium alloy-materials generally well-tolerated by the human body. Also, titanium has been shown to bond well with the human bone.
Winning Smiles operates conveniently located dental offices throughout the greater Buffalo area in Amherst, Orchard Park and Lackawanna. Call (716) 332-2444 to make your appointment with our dental professionals!
The dental implant is surgically inserted under local anesthetic. Once healed, the artificial root (the implant) acts as a base for the visible portion of the tooth (the restoration).
The dental implant can be used to replace:
[1] Natural tooth, [2] Dental implant, [3] Tooth crown
1. Dental implants are designed to be a reliable, stable, and natural-looking restorative solution
2. Implants transmit chewing forces to the jaw bones, helping to maintain the bone. Dental implant treatment may help prevent gradual bone loss by replacing the natural tooth root.
3. With dental implants, palatal plates required with conventional dentures are not necessary. Patients can feel more comfortable talking, smiling and eating.
4. Winning Smiles uses only the highest quality implant system. The Straumann® Dental Implant System is scientifically based and one of the most commonly used systems. All dental implants available on the market are not ceated equal. Additionally, Straumann® implants come with a lifetime guarantee.

After approximately one week, the stitches are removed. The healing phase will last between six weeks and a few months, depending on many health factors. During this time, diligent oral hygiene is vital to the healing stage of the treatment. Once integrated, the implant can accept a tooth replacement restoration.
