Modern Dentistry Is Here!

Modern dentistry has dramatically changed tooth replacement options over the last several decades. The prospects for tooth replacement were not nearly as attractive as today's dental implants with their natural look and feel. Implants give you a smile that mimics natural teeth, giving you a picture-perfect smile that not only looks good but maintains the structure and health of your jaws.

How Implants Work?

Implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement, whether it’s one tooth, several teeth, or a whole mouth full. A considerable benefit of Implants is the preservation of jawbone. The abutment, or base of the implant, is placed in your jawbone. This placement is important because the jawbone naturally starts to deteriorate when a tooth is lost. When an Implant is set, the bone actually grows around the Implant, intergrading itself into the jawbone and preventing bone loss. The abutment is titanium, making it the perfect material for integration into the bone. Implants are safe, permanent, durable, and highly lifelike.

How To Care For Implants?

Care for the implant is the same as care for natural teeth; brush at least twice a day and daily flossing. Be sure to keep your regularly scheduled dental appointments to ensure your teeth and gums remain strong and healthy.

Are Implants Right For Me?

Most patients are good candidates for Dental Implants, and with a success rate of over 95%, the chances are excellent that Implants are right for you. Some circumstances would make Implants not a good choice, such as active periodontal disease or bone loss that is already extensive.
