When permanent teeth are lost, regardless of the reason or number of
teeth, dental implants can offer a “new lease on life.” They
are superior to other choices because they are solid, secure, and esthetic.
After nearly 35 years of use, they have a 90-95% proven success rate
in appropriately chosen cases.
An implant is a special surgical grade titanium post, manufactured
to highly precise specifications, under strict sterile conditions, that
is inserted surgically into the jawbone below the gum surface. With proper
use of the newest anesthetics and medications you need not be concerned
about pain. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation
onto which your new teeth are then attached and shaped to match your
mouth. The number of teeth being replaced will determine the best kind
of restoration for you. Implants can help replace a single tooth, or
a full set of teeth. If you have been suffering with partial or full
dentures, or are missing teeth, or feel you need teeth extracted, do
not hesitate to call to be evaluated for implants.
