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. |
