Dental Implants
Easier than you think.
Dental implants are the absolute BEST way to replace missing teeth - especially if the teeth located next to the space are perfectly healthy as the implant does NOT affect adjacent teeth in any way. Dental implants are the next best thing to your original natural teeth. They feel and function like natural teeth and look so natural that no one can tell they aren't real. Most patients can't tell the difference even in their own mouths. Dental implants have an overall success rate of 95% and are backed by nearly 50 years of clinical research. They are now considered to be the standard of care for replacing missing teeth. Implants are the treatment of choice because they restore your mouth as close as possible to its original state without compromising the health of any other teeth. Implants still require continued care including homecare and professional maintenance. The life of the implant can be well over twenty years, but this varies with a patient's health and habits (smoking, oral hygiene).
Dental implants have literally changed the lives of countless patients. Before implants, the only treatment options available to patients with missing teeth were bridges or partial dentures. A bridge involves the adjacent teeth which can mean damaging perfectly healthy teeth. Dentures can be both uncomfortable and loose, creating embarrassing situations. Because implants are placed in the bone and are not attached to any other teeth, they fuse safely and securely providing long term predictability, while preserving adjacent healthy teeth. Whether you are missing one or all of your teeth, you may find that dental implants can give you comfort and confidence again.
