In many situations, dental
implants can give back patients their confident
smile. The benefits are improved esthetics, the ability to
eat comfortably and a clean, healthy oral environment for
the patient.
Dental Implants are small prosthetic posts that are placed
in to
the bone of the upper or lower jaw. They act as replacements
for the root portion of lost natural teeth and also serve
as an anchor for replacement teeth. Dental implants look and
feel exactly like natural teeth
-- in fact, no one other than you and your doctor will be
able to tell the difference. Dental implants are appropriate
for almost anyone who is currently missing teeth or is at
risk of losing teeth.
There are many different types of dental implants available.
We have extensive experience in dental implants and would
be pleased to discuss the benefits of implant prosthetics
with you. Ask about implant restorative treatment at the time
of your consultation.
Dental implants are made of cartious bio-materials, and
are surgically placed into the jawbone to anchor missing teeth.
Implants give retention and stability to dentures, thus preventing
sores or cliucking noises when you talk.
Approved dental implant systems are very successful - some
have lasted more than 20 years with a better than 90% success
rate. Patients who have good oral hygiene and visit
the dentis regularly can enjoy implants that last a liftime.
