Implant Restoration
Implants act as the root of a missing tooth and are located entirely below the surface of the gums. Our office has much experience using that implant to create an esthetic and functioning tooth or anchor for a prosthetic device.
We will coordinate the placement of the ideal implant, through the restoration of that implant to a functioning tooth. Implants are often used to provide stability for dentures. Attachments can be placed in dentures that allow the denture to snap onto the implant. This prevents the denture from moving or becoming dislodged while eating or talking and can be a life changing improvement in the quality of life for Denture wearers.
Implants can also be used to eliminate dentures entirely by replacing teeth back into the mouth that are not removable but are permanently restored to the mouth. We can develop a plan to suit most budgets.
Frequently Asked Questions
We restore all kinds of implants. We also work with several experts who place a variety of implant types to suit your specific needs.
Since implants are designed to replace your own teeth, it is important that they look and feel like part of your mouth. We offer many different kinds of materials and styles to ensure you will find the kind of implant that best fits your needs and your budget. Your new implant should fit seamlessly in with the rest of your smile, and feel as natural as if it had grown there.
At your oral evaluation, we will take a close look at your dental history to determine if implants are right for you. Patients with good general oral health and adequate bone support are the best candidates for this treatment. We will work with you each step of the way to give you the best possible treatment and address your personal needs and concerns.
