Are you a candidate for Dental Implants?
With nearly 40 million Americans having lost some or all of their teeth, dental implants have become the treatment of choice for replacing teeth. If you are wearing a full or partial denture, or if you are missing teeth, dental implants may be the best option for you. The hope of restoring something important that's been lost, is an exciting possibility. With dental implants, it's not just a hope. It's a reality!
Reasons for implants:
- Avoids bone loss and gum recession associated with tooth loss
- Restores proper chewing, leading to a better diet and improved health
- Avoids grinding down healthy teeth for conventional bridgework
- Improves speech
- Increases comfort
- Makes dentures secure
- Helps promote long-term facial integrity
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium alloy implants that are anchored into the jawbone. Titanium alloy is the material that is used in joint replacement procedures (knees and hips). It is strong, lightweight, and has been proven safe.
Missing a Single Tooth?
If you are missing a single tooth, the placement of an implant may be the best choice for you. Conventional "crown and bridge" therapy requires healthy teeth on each side of the missing tooth to be ground down to serve as support for the bridge. Replacing the missing tooth with an implant leaves your remaining teeth untouched. A single tooth implant will restore the natural appearance to your smile and preserve vital bone structure where the missing tooth root once was.
