At Shwarts Family Dentistry, Dr. Ellis Shwarts is dedicated to helping patients restore not only their smiles but also their long-term oral health. One of the most important ways he achieves this is through dental implants, which protect the jawbone after tooth loss or extraction.
Why Jawbone Health Matters
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to deteriorate because it no longer receives stimulation from the tooth root. Over time, this bone loss can change the shape of the face, make it difficult to chew properly, and even impact surrounding teeth. Preserving the jawbone is crucial for maintaining both oral health and facial structure.
What Makes Dental Implants Different
Unlike dentures or bridges that sit on top of the gums, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. The titanium post naturally fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This connection gives the implant unmatched stability while also stimulating the bone just like a natural tooth root. As a result, implants not only replace missing teeth but also prevent bone loss from occurring.
The Lasting Benefits of Implants
Dental implants do far more than fill gaps in your smile. Because they strengthen the jawbone, they help maintain a youthful facial shape and prevent the sunken appearance that can occur with prolonged tooth loss. Patients also enjoy restored function, allowing them to eat their favorite foods without worry. Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a permanent solution that promotes long-term oral health.
Dr. Shwarts’ Approach to Dental Implants
Dr. Shwarts works closely with a team of highly skilled oral surgeons and periodontists to ensure patients receive the highest quality of care during implant placement. After the implant heals and integrates with the bone, he restores it with a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Each restoration is designed to match the natural look of your smile while giving you the strength and confidence of stable, long-lasting teeth.
A Lifetime Investment in Your Smile
While traditional dentures may need frequent adjustments and often fail to protect the jawbone, implants provide a lifetime of support with proper care. They help patients maintain oral health, improve confidence, and reduce the risk of health issues linked to tooth loss and bone deterioration. For many, implants are not just about replacing teeth—they’re about preserving overall wellness.
