How Do Dental Implants Improve Your Health?
The most advanced dental restoration is no substitute for your natural teeth, but an implant-supported restoration is the next best option. With proper care, an implant can provide a lifetime of benefits.
Boosted Oral Health
Implants act as bionic tooth roots by providing the necessary signals to your jawbone, stopping further atrophy, and restoring your dental health. Implants are titanium or ceramic posts to which a restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture are directly anchored to your jawbone so that you can enjoy a fully functional, symmetrical smile.
Increased Stability
Dental implants are constructed of advanced materials such as titanium and medical-grade ceramic to give your new implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture unmatched stability. Furthermore, because they are anchored directly into the jaw, there is a reduced risk of unexpected sliding or shifting.
Restored Appearance
Losing teeth can have a significant impact upon your appearance and not simply because of the gap in your smile. The roots of a tooth provide essential signals to the bone tissue in your jaw to keep it strong. Without these signals, your jawbone can begin to deteriorate. As this atrophy continues, it can cause your surrounding teeth to shift, which can lead to further tooth loss. Left untreated, this can leave your face looking sunken and aged. Because dental implants can halt and even reverse this process, patients may be able to restore their appearance, as well.
Untreated Tooth Loss Can Lead to Further Complications
If you have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth as a result of periodontal disease, facial trauma, or tooth decay, you may be at risk of future oral health complications. Missing teeth can also cause serious overall health concerns such as poor diet and malnutrition.
To help patients regain the health and aesthetics of their smiles, Dr. Chan Wilkhu and Dr. Mark Moffitt can place and restore dental implants at our dental office in Merritt Island, FL.

"The Best Dentist I Have Ever Been To"
Donna Jewett
2020
Dr Wilkhu is the best Dentist I have ever been to. From the office staff to the hygenists to the Dentist and his assistants they are all top notch. I went to Dr Wilkhu after having a bad experience with another dentist. Dr Wilkhu had done a great job for my mother and his reviews were great so I thought I would give him a try. I have been going to him for about three years now and even if I move out of state I will come back to see Dr Wilkhu. Not only is he a great Dentist but he is as close to painless as you can get.

This method of placement can support a lifelike denture with unparalleled stability without the need for a bone graft in certain cases.
In most cases, we can place and restore your smile dental implants, helping you receive comprehensive treatment in one office without having to visit multiple specialists during the treatment stages.
