DENTAL IMPLANTS
We always strive to provide therapeutic services at the highest level of personal and professional integrity.
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements. They hold a crown, bridge or denture just like roots hold natural teeth in place. Unlike a traditional plate or bridge, dental implants are actually anchored to your jaw. After integration with the jawbone, the crown, bridge or denture is then attached to the implants. This provides much greater stability for more effective eating, speaking and smiling!
Without a back tooth to attach a bridge to, dentists were forced to design partial dentures or "removable flippers" for patients to use. These functioned more for cosmetic purposes than for anything else. Dental implants can provide solid anchors for a bridge of any size. With an implant, a crown is placed on top of the implant's post and the two healthy teeth remain untouched. People of all ages are discovering how they can improve their lives with dental implants. No more messy, ineffective adhesives for denture wearers. With dental implants, denture wearers report eating foods that they have not had in years! Say goodbye to slipping partials and uncomfortable dentures. Implants allow for a secure solid fit of the more comfortable palate less denture.
