You know that your confidence about your teeth affects
how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally.
Perhaps
you hide your smile because of spaces from missing
teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps
you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one
or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat
again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel
just like your own!
- What
are dental implants and what can they do for me?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a
replacement tooth or bridge in place. While high-tech in nature, dental implants
are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridge work, since implants
do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. More of your own teeth are left
untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!
- Am I
a candidate for dental implants?
The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health.
Healthy gums and adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant.
- What
can I expect after treatment?
As you know, your own teeth require conscientious
at-home oral care and regular dental visits. Dental
implants are like your own teeth and will require
the same care. In order to keep your implant clean
and plaque free, brushing and flossing still apply!
