For patients missing a single tooth – or even a full
set of uppers and lowers – dental implants are the most
stable option available. They don’t move or slip or wobble.
They’re stable and secure – for life. Since implants
are so stable, most patients “forget” about them.
Only regular brushing is required for maintenance.
Dental implants can perk up a smile, and no one will ever know
the tooth is not real. Eating select or soft foods is not a
restriction anymore because implants are affixed with a strong
titanium post to replace the root system. Implant supported
teeth are the closest thing possible to natural teeth. They
look, feel and function just as strong, stable teeth should.
Just about anyone with missing teeth is a candidate for dental
implants. The primary concern is one of physical health. Generally,
uncontrolled diabetics and cancer patients who have recently
received radiation therapy (at the site of the implant area)
are not good candidates. Any other medical condition is usually
not a contraindication for dental implant treatment.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Aesthetic Dental implants look and feel like
your own teeth! Since dental implants integrate into the structure
of the bone, they 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 adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring
teeth are not altered to support the implant. Most of the teeth
are left untouched, meaning a significant long-term benefit
to 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 irritating 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.
