Dental Implants
Embarrassed about missing teeth? Tired of wearing a partial or denture? Dental implants are an ideal and affordable solution. Dental implants offer a more secure alternative for replacing teeth. You are going to love having implants. They are one of the greatest advances in the history of the dental profession and the success rate has been over 90%. In fact, there is nothing we do that improves the quality of life of our patients more.
Dental implants are pure titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone where the roots of the natural teeth once were. Bone loves titanium and anchors firmly to it. After surgical placement, the implants need to remain undisturbed for a period of time before the final restoration can be completed.
Lower denture patients benefit tremendously at any age. The traditional lower denture tends to float or come out when smiling, talking, laughing, kissing, and especially eating. With implants, the denture is firmly anchored so that the denture no longer slips out. Patients can enjoy eating a variety of foods, and their dentures can still be removed for regular cleaning.
Removable partial denture patients, who are tired of always having something in their mouth, will benefit by placing implants followed by a non-removable prosthesis that will feel and act just like permanent teeth.
Patients with a single missing tooth, who do not like the thought of trimming down good adjacent teeth to place a bridge, will find that an implant, followed by a single crown, is an excellent and conservative approach.
