An Introduction to Dental Implants
Your teeth make a statement about you. A beautiful smile enhances your overall appearance and charisma, giving you added self-confidence and presence.

Strong, healthy teeth help to preserve the appearance of your face as you age. The condition of your teeth can impact your overall health, as well as your ability to chew and enjoy your favorite foods. Your teeth also affect your speech and comfort in talking with others.

Unfortunately, millions of people experience the difficulties associated with missing teeth, some of which can undermine their self-confidence and the quality of their life.

Missing teeth can compromise your eating habits, speech, and appearance. Since tooth loss leads to bone loss in the jaw, it can change the original shape of your face and cause a look of premature aging.

In extreme cases, people who wear dentures may avoid social contact, make poor food choices and suffer from denture sore-spots.

As substitute tooth roots, implants bond with the bone to form a stable foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Dental implants can help to preserve the bone by providing the stimulation that was previously provided by the natural tooth roots, thereby helping to maintain the integrity of your facial structures.

There are numerous advantages of dental implant treatment over other treatment options. For instance, it is not necessary to grind down the adjacent teeth for a bridge, or secure a partial denture to them with clasps that can eventually loosen the natural teeth.

By utilizing dental implants, people who are missing teeth may be spared the many problems associated with traditional false teeth.

Dental implant treatment restores the beauty of your natural smile. If you qualify as a candidate for dental implants, the treatment may improve the quality of your life. Talk to your dentist to determine if dental implants are right for you.

Dental implants offer solutions for all types of tooth replacements

Single Tooth and Multiple Tooth Replacements

Because dental implants replace the tooth root and serve as an anchor, your new tooth. Teeth are secured directly on the implant. This treatment allows teeth to be restored naturally, without harming or involving your surrounding teeth.

Small metal posts are connected to the implant, allowing the replacement tooth to be secured with dental cement or a small screw.
Implant-Supported
Dentures

Dental implants can also be placed to anchor and support partial or full dentures, eliminating the need for dental adhesives. Enjoy having the confidence to eat the foods you previously avoided.

Dentures can be supported with either a bar/clip or ball/socket attachment for removal, allowing for regular cleaning.

Traditional Procedures
Other Options Damage
Your Healthy Teeth

Other options, such as traditional crown and bridge procedures, may involve cutting down healthy adjacent teeth to anchor the restoration.


Other Options are Uncomfortable

Appliances that require adhesives may be uncomfortable and may slip while talking or eating. In addition, metal clasps may be visible, resulting in poor aesthetics.
