Dental Implants

Implants offer patients a foundation for new teeth where natural teeth are missing or have been extracted. Implants offer the patient the ability to regain normal function without being forced to resort to a bridge or denture.

Benefits

1) Implants "osseo-integrate," or bond, directly to the bone.

2) Implant are very strong.

3) Implants never decay.

4) Implants are comfortable and chew like natural teeth.

5) Implants crowns can often be reparable.

6) No grinding of adjacent teeth is needed.

7) Implants can be flossed like any other teeth.

8) Implants' success rate is well over 90% over 15 years.

9) The surgical procedure is accomplished with little to no post-op pain.

Procedure

The implants are placed with either local or general anesthesia. Recovery is routinely uneventful, with little to no post-operative pain. Implants are usually allowed to osseo-integrate with the bone for 3 to 6 months. As this occurs, a replacement tooth will be provided.

After complete osseo-integration occurs, we will make the final restoration to attach to the implant. Your restoration will be comfortable and natural in appearance.

Implants can also be used to support dentures that are loose or painful. Without a doubt, this application provides the most profound improvement in function available for denture wearers. Loose lower dentures can be anchored down with as few as 2 implants. Dentures can even be solidly attached to multiple implants and not even touch the gum tissue at all which eliminates sore spots forever. The future has arrived with dental implants!
