Dental Implants

Implants: Permanent, Secure Tooth Replacements
Your teeth are important! Studies have shown that first impressions, self-confidence and a person’s character can all be correlated to their smile. Because each tooth acts in unison with neighboring and opposing teeth, it is important to replace a missing tooth and even more important to replace several missing teeth. This will prevent bone loss and the destructive shifting of surrounding natural teeth.

Dental Implants are fast becoming the best option for tooth replacement for many patients. A dental implant is a biocompatible post that is placed in the jawbone that will act much like the root of a tooth, by which a crown, bridge or even a denture can be supported. Patients enjoy high success rates in treatment and improved confidence in their appearance and dental function with dental implants.

Dental Implants are well suited to adults of all ages. Reasons for considering dental implants as the treatment of choice for missing teeth are:

• Proven longevity
• Ideal function
• Beautiful esthetics
• Preservation of existing jaw bone
• Restorations do not require alteration of adjacent teeth
• Excellent support for crowns, bridges, and dentures
• Great solution for slipping or unstable dentures (SynCone Overdenture System)
• Adaptable to individual patient circumstances
• Patient satisfaction

Depending on your situation, dental implants can be placed in one or two stages.

One Stage: the implant is placed in the jawbone and immediately loaded with your new crown, bridge or denture.

Two Stage: the implant is placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal for a prescribed period of time after which a crown, bridge or denture will be placed.
