Teeth that look and feel like your own!
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 bridgework, since
implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants
are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a
tooth.
What dental
impant can do for you
- Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
- Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial
denture
- Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.

Advantages of dental implants over dentures or a bridge
Every way you look at it, dental implants are a better solution to
the problem of missing teeth.
Esthetic Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth!
Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they
prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework
and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth.
Teeth-saving Dental
implants don´t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth
like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support
the implant. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant
long-term benefit to your oral health!
Confidence Dental
implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and
confidence! They are secure and offer freedom from the irksome clicks
and wobbles of dentures. They´ll allow you to say goodbye to
worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.
Reliable The success
rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered
an excellent option for tooth replacement.

Am I a
candidate for dental implants?
The ideal
candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health.
Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant, and the
best candidates have healthy gum tissues that are free of periodontal
disease.
Dental implants
are intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone
in the mouth. Since periodontists are the dental experts who specialize
in precisely these areas, they are the ideal members of your dental
implant team. Not only do periodontist have experience working with
other dental professionals, they also have the special knowledge,
training and facilities that you need to have teeth that look and
feel just like your own.
Your dentist
and periodontist will work together to make your dreams come true.
What is
treatment like?
This procedure
is a team effort between you, your dentist and your periodontist.
Your periodontist and dentist will consult with you to determine where
and how your implant should be placed. Depending on your specific
condition and the type of implant you choose, your periodontist will
create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. It will be important
for you to work as a team with your periodontist and dentist to reach
your treatment goals.
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!
After treatment,
your periodontist will work closely with you and your dentist to develop
the best plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled
to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
