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.
A dental implant is 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. Dental 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 dental implants.
