Dental implants offer freedom from the limitations of missing teeth. When gaps in your smile make you avoid social gatherings or restrict your diet, implants provide a long-lasting solution to those problems. These innovative tooth replacements use medical-grade titanium posts that become part of your jawbone. This creates a solid foundation for natural-looking replacement teeth.
You’ll be able to once again enjoy your favorite foods after getting implants. Corn on the cob, crunchy apples, and juicy steaks can return to the menu without worry.
Unlike removable teeth replacements, implants stay put when you talk and laugh. They also keep your jaw strong by providing the same pressure as natural tooth roots when you chew, stopping the bone loss that typically follows missing teeth. This helps your face keeps its natural shape and prevent the sunken look that happens after years of wearing standard dentures.
You can choose from these dental implant services:
- Implant Crowns – Replace a single missing tooth with a post topped by a lifelike crown. The crown blends with your other teeth so well that most people can’t spot the difference.
- Implant Bridges – Bridge a gap left by several missing teeth without grinding down healthy ones for support. These bridges attach to implants instead, preserving more of your natural smile.
- Implant Dentures – Say goodbye to denture adhesives and embarrassing slips with implant-secured dentures. These dentures click firmly into place, letting you bite apples and speak clearly without worry.
- All-on-X Implants – Support a full arch of new teeth on just a few strategically placed implants, typically four to six. This method gives you back your entire smile with less surgery and faster healing.
- Same-Day Smile – Leave our office with temporary teeth the same day your dentist places your implants. This option prevents you from having to go without teeth during the healing period.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – Start fresh with a complete smile makeover that combines implants with other treatments. This comprehensive approach works well for complex dental problems that affect many teeth.
