| What can dental implants
do for me?
Implants are a
great way to replace one or more missing teeth or to
give added stability to dentures or bridges.
Technology has continually improved the materials and
techniques used in dental implant therapy. Today,
patient satisfaction with implants is at an all-time
high. We talk to patients all the time who say
their implants function and feel like their natural
teeth. They appreciate the ability to eat what
they want again and to smile with confidence.
Am I a good candidate for
dental implants?
That depends on many factors,
including your age, the amount of bone in your jaw, your
lifestyle and oral hygiene habits... just to name a few.
Determining whether or not dental implants will work for
you involves an extremely thorough evaluation - one your
dentist may ask us to perform.
If implants are a
solution for me, how will the process work?
After
determining that you are a good candidate, our doctors
will work closely with you and your dentist in
developing your customized treatment plan. Any
work you need to have done prior to placement of the
implant will be explained thoroughly to you. Then,
when the time comes, you'll undergo the placement
procedure (which most people find remarkably easy).
When the implant has become secure in your jaw, you'll
work with your dentist to get a new tooth restoration.
Then all you have to do is maintain your excellent oral
hygiene habits and smile!
