Many times we’ll have patients come in with missing teeth. They haven’t been to a dentist for so long, they’re embarrassed, they’re scared, they’re worried. Dental implants are a great way to go. More often than not, one way or another, we can get that patient back up to optimal dental health. That might be replacing just a couple of teeth to improve a smile. It might be replacing a lot of teeth to help with function, chewing and even speaking, and it might be because dentures just don’t fit right. Then we can make them secure and it’ll give the patient more comfort and it’s going to give them a better outlook on life. It’s life changing, and it has been for several of our patients, and that’s pretty rewarding. If you have any questions, any concerns about dental implants, if you want to improve your smile, if you want to improve your function, give us a call. We’ll gladly see anyone and talk to them about a consultation. They’re always free.
Love the Advantages of a Secure Smile
One of the best features of your dental implants is they can last a lifetime with proper care. Unlike traditional dentures, you’ll never need to adjust the fit. However, that’s not the only benefit you’ll discover. Implants also offer:
- Chewing Power – You’ll enjoy a bite nearly as strong as before you lost teeth, perhaps even stronger.
- No Embarrassing Slippage – Implants provide a stable foundation for the restoration of your choice.
- No Modification of Natural Teeth – With a traditional dental bridge, we need to modify your adjacent teeth. That isn’t needed when you get implants.
- Stronger Bone Structure – Implants (like natural tooth roots) stimulate your jawbone. This prevents the bone loss that occurs with traditional dentures and bridges.
- Simple Cleaning – Caring for your implant-supported restoration is practically as easy as brushing and flossing natural teeth.
Recreate a Complete Smile
If you are interested in replacement teeth, our doctors will assess you using the latest technology, such as 3-D and panoramic imaging. Even if you don’t have enough bone density for implants, you have options. For example, we can perform a bone graft, or you could get mini dental implants instead.
If implants are right for you, our dentists will determine the most secure position to place your implants and then embed them directly into your jawbone. We’ll numb you with local anesthesia first, so you won’t feel a thing. We’ll give your jawbone a chance to heal before we add your custom restorations. Once it’s time, placing your restorations may involve one or more restorative services, such as:
- Dental Crowns – We can replace a single missing tooth with a crown anchored to an implant.
- Dental Bridges – Instead of anchoring your bridge to nearby healthy teeth, we’ll anchor it to implants.
- Dentures – Replace complete arches of teeth by securing your dentures to implants.
