If you’re thinking about getting a dental implant, it’s natural to wonder how close it comes to a real tooth. The good news is that modern implant systems are thoughtfully designed to feel comfortable and support everyday function.
This is especially true of the BioHorizons® implant system used at Pullen Dental, which is carefully engineered to work in harmony with your natural smile. Designed to replace missing teeth, implants allow you to smile, eat, and speak with confidence again. Once restored with a crown, they blend in seamlessly with your other teeth for a natural appearance.
Supports Long-Term Oral Health
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can gradually shrink over time. BioHorizons implants include technology that encourages bone connection around the implant, which helps maintain natural bone structure and facial shape.
The implant is placed into the jaw where it acts like an artificial tooth root. This helps support chewing ability and may reduce movement of nearby teeth. The surface of BioHorizons implants also supports gum health, which is an important part of long-term implant success.
How an Implant Feels in Daily Life
A dental implant functions much like a natural tooth root, providing a strong foundation for everyday chewing and speaking. Many people find that after healing, their implant feels stable and comfortable, helping restore both confidence and oral function.
Caring for Your Implants
Like natural teeth, dental implants need regular care to stay healthy. Brushing twice a day, flossing around the implant, and keeping up with your routine dental visits all help maintain gum health and support long-term stability.
Your dentist will also show you how to clean gently around the implant and crown to keep the area free of plaque buildup. With the right care at home and professional maintenance, implants can last for many years.
