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.
An 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. 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 implants.
