Dental Implants

Your teeth were made to last a lifetime, but sometimes they don't! Replacing missing teeth is important to your general health and to the health of your other teeth. Not only do you lose chewing ability when a tooth is lost, but unreplaced teeth can cause other teeth to be lost, tipped, or crowded, and create subsequent problems. 

Also, there are the obvious problems of poor appearance and loss of self-esteem caused by one or more missing teeth. Dental implants should always be considered as an option to replace a failing or missing tooth. Replacement of lost teeth with dental implants has been used for treating missing teeth for more than 50 years and is recognized as an effective treatment choice. Treatment is considered more predictable than bridgework, resin bonded bridges and endodontic treatment.

Dental Implant Facts:

- More than 30 million Americans have lost all their teeth in one or both arches

- 15 million people in the U.S. have crown and bridge replacements for missing teeth

- 3 million people have implants and that number is growing by 500,000 a year

Am I a Candidate For a Dental Implant?

Implant patients are of all ages and implants may be the right choice for anyone missing one or more teeth due to injury, disease or decay.

They are especially practical for patients who can no longer wear removable dentures. Your dentist can determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and medical history.
