Dental Implants
Don’t Settle for an Incomplete Smile!
Are you embarrassed about missing or damaged teeth? You are not alone. Over 100 million adults are missing teeth.
For those adults who are missing teeth, or have undergone a tooth extraction, dental implants can make a huge difference. To form the base of your implant, a dentist will insert a small, sturdy titanium post into your upper or lower jaw bone. Over time, your bone will grow in around the post, creating a solid structure that stands in for your natural tooth roots, holding a crown, bridge, or over denture in place.
As with natural teeth, implants require maintenance. You will need to brush, floss, and get check-ups every six months. With proper care, your implants can be a lifelong solution.
Benefits of Implants
If you are missing teeth or looking for an alternative to dentures, you should consider implants. They are a great solution because they:
- Replace missing teeth by attaching to your living bone, resulting in a natural look and feel.
- Are a permanent alternative to dentures that eliminate the need for messy denture glues and pastes.
- Reduce wrinkles on your face, giving you a younger appearance.
- Form a base to support a single or full bridge.
- Help prevent bone loss and gum recession.
- Create a foundation for dentures that results in a secure fit.
- Make chewing, smiling, and talking easier.
- Provide a reliable, long-term dental solution that can last a lifetime!
