Dental Implants

When you lose teeth, all of the function of your teeth and your overall health are affected. Missing teeth shouldn’t be ignored, even if you’re only missing one or two. Our goal to provide you with the highest level of patient care possible. In order to achieve this goal, we provide you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. And for tooth loss, the best option is often dental implants.

Your teeth play many important roles. They give you the ability to bite and chew your food, providing you with nutrition. They are crucial to being able to speak properly. And, they’re one of the first things that people notice about you. When you lose your teeth, no matter how many, things begin to change. The first change is in the way you look. You may also start to notice that things that were once easy, eating and speaking, have become more difficult.

Another change happens, too, that you won’t be able to see right away. Without your teeth planted in your jaw, the bone begins to reabsorb. This weakens your jaw and causes it to change shape. You might start to notice a lack of definition in your chin. You may also find that your remaining teeth no longer fit together properly. Your changing jaw has shifted the alignment of your healthy teeth. This can lead to uneven wear and other oral health dilemmas.

Dental implants can put an end to any changes that missing teeth might bring about. Implants are small, titanium rods that are surgically inserted into your jawbone that fuse to the bone while the surgical sites heal, providing a strong, stable support for your new teeth.
