ImplantsIMPLANTS
Missing teeth used to be a troublesome problem for patients and dentists alike. Solutions were restricted to a bridge or denture, both of which presented inherent problems. Modern day dental implants eliminated these issues and gave the patient the opportunity to have teeth again.
Implants come in multiple shapes and sizes and serve as a new, and permanent, root for a tooth that was lost. They replace single or multiple missing teeth, anchor loose dentures and save precious bone that otherwise would be lost forever. They are truly a miracle “fix-all” for those with missing teeth.
An implant is surgically placed and the bone is allowed to integrate and lock the implant into place. Once this occurs, a crown or attachment can be mated to the implant restoring a once toothless area into a functional one.
Implants are the future of dentistry and the possibilities with their usage are virtually endless. Mini-implants eradicate the problem of loose dentures in a single visit and vastly improve the enjoyment of eating and quality of life. Conventional implants replace teeth lost to trauma or decay and give the patient a second chance…plus, having a titanium tooth is kind of cool.
