Advanced Treatments for Missing Teeth

Dental implants offer a highly effective way to restore your smile. They’re ideal for patients missing one or more teeth who want to preserve surrounding teeth without using a bridge. Because implants involve a surgical procedure, they may not be suitable for everyone. The best way to determine if implants are right for you is to schedule a consultation at our office.

What You Should Know About Dental Implants

Dental implants are small metal posts surgically inserted into the jawbone beneath the gums. Over about three months, the implant fuses with the bone, forming a stable foundation for a crown or other restoration. Many patients prefer implants for their secure, comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures. Implants also restore a complete, natural-looking smile without impacting adjacent teeth or requiring bridgework.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

Because dental implant placement is a surgical procedure, it may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with low bone density or certain health conditions may have difficulty with proper bone integration. However, most patients can successfully receive implants, which fuse with the jawbone to support a crown or denture for a fully restored smile. During your consultation, we’ll perform an exam and take X-rays to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.
