Implant Dentistry

People are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life, all thanks to dental implants.

Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. A properly placed implant (or implants) can give you the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth appear natural.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a periodontist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Advantages of Dental Implants over Dentures or a Bridge

No matter how you look at it, dental implants are a better solution to the problem of missing teeth.

  • Aesthetic – Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Since they integrate into the structure of your bone, dental implants prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth.
  • Tooth-saving – Dental implants don’t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge, because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant. More of your own teeth are left untouched, which is a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!
  • Confidence – Dental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence! They are secure and offer freedom from the irksome clicks and wobbles of dentures. They’ll allow you to say goodbye to worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.
  • Reliable – The success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.

What can Dental Implants do?

  • Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
  • Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
  • Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
