Dental Implants
During the last 20 years, dental implants have become a desirable alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a range of available options give dentists a variety of new ways to treat and replace missing teeth.
I can evaluate your dental situation and determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Implants are free standing titanium-based root shaped cylinders that integrate with your jawbone to create a strong base. Once your implant and bone integrate, we can then place the remaining parts, abutment and crown, on the implant to mimic your missing tooth. If you are missing all your teeth and need dentures, we can fabricate implant retained or supported dentures that provide you with great retention! The implant retained or supported dentures allow you more flexibility in the things you can eat. No more Poly grip or dental adhesives will be needed!
The determining factor for implants as an option is your jawbone density. Your bone density can change over time when you are missing teeth. Our CT scan and x-rays can determine if you have enough bone for the procedure. Implants are a lifestyle change. Don’t hesitate to educate yourself on your options. Contact us today.
