Dental
Implants
The loss
of a tooth can be traumatic because it affects your smile, your
ability to chew and often your self esteem.
We are
pleased to inform you that our office is now offering comprehensive
dental implant services.
After 35 years of
intensive worldwide research and success rates approaching 95%,
implants are now considered the “standard of
care.”
We are
confident that implants will be a great benefit for our patients
who are missing teeth.
Dental
Implants are one of the fastest growing and most exciting new
disciplines in dentistry today. Our office is committed to offering
the most advanced technology to help our patients. Today,
patients who previously suffered from missing teeth, denture
soreness, decreased chewing ability or loss of facial structure are
now taking advantage of dental implants to solve these
problems. Implants can literally improve your smile, your
ability to eat, and talk.
What are
dental implants? They are replacement tooth roots made out of
titanium that are placed into the jawbone. The process of
receiving implants is generally comfortable and the implants
literally become attached to the jawbone with a great deal of
retention. In most cases, they are as comfortable and solid
as your own teeth.
The
initial phase of dental implants is to have the implants placed
into the jawbone. At this point your case may take one of two
paths.
In
many cases the implants may be restored with a crown, bridge or
overdenture on the day of the implant placement.
In
other cases, the implants require three to six months for the
implants to become completely integrated to the bone before the
final denture, crown or bridge is placed.
Regardless of
which option your doctor chooses the retention of your prosthesis
will be strong and secure.
Our entire staff
is proud of the implant services we are providing. We look forward
to seeing you and answering any questions you may have about dental
implants.
