Dental Implants
Dental implants provide an exciting option for people missing some or all of their teeth.
They look, feel, and function like your own natural teeth. The implant
process is effective and it's safe. The system we use has evolved over 35 years of
documented research.
Implants have provided the proverbial "new lease on life" for thousands of
people, allowing them to eat, smile, and speak naturally again. The quality of their
lives has been significantly improved.
Implant systems differ. But for the right candidates, all offer a more functional
alternative to removable dentures.
Traditional options in replacing a tooth
or teeth are not without side-effects |
|
|
A Traditional Bridge
Adjacent teeth are shaved down for a crown that connects to
a false tooth. |
|
A Removable Partial or a Full Denture Arch
A removable partial or a full denture needs
adjustments and alignments. They wear down over time and need to be replaced. The gum
tissue and jawbone continues to shrink because of the lack of "tooth root".

A dental implant replaces both the tooth root and the tooth crown.
A dental implant does not affect adjacent teeth.
A dental implant feels like a NATURAL TOOTH.
A dental implant allows for normal speech patterns.
A dental implant provides you with a solid bite, renewed taste,
better chewing ability than dentures resulting in better food
digestion.

New teeth are developed to ensure optimal size,
shape, color and fit so they will blend with your facial characteristics and provide
support needed for a natural appearance. |
