If you are missing one or more teeth, you should be evaluated for implants. Restoring your mouth back to its original state ensures that you are able to chew and digest your food properly, maintains your facial shape, and prevents drifting of your other teeth that can cause severe bite problems. If you are missing teeth, dental implants can stabilize your loose dentures or partials, allowing you to have more confidence when talking, smiling and enjoying a meal with your friends and family.

Traditional choices offered to patients before dental implants were mechanical devices adhered to your existing teeth by dental "glue" or the use of a denture that simply sits on your gums and gives the illusion of a full set of teeth. The disadvantage of using a bridge to replace missing teeth, is that the adjacent teeth to the missing one or ones need to be reduced or cut down to make space for the bridge. The teeth lose much of their inherent strength and often need root canal treatment. The denture will move around while eating causing loss of bone and eventually a loose denture. Sometimes the dentures will fall down when eating or smiling, causing a most embarrassing moment.

Since dental implants are the most natural replacement for teeth, they function just like your teeth! You do not have to remove them for cleaning, and your hygienist will be able to treat them like your existing teeth.

Most patients that have selected implants to restore their mouths feel more confident and secure that their new teeth will not slip or move while eating, smiling and talking. They experience a lifestyle that they once had with the knowledge they have chosen dentistry's state of the art tooth replacement system.
