Are you sick of missing that tooth?
Missing a tooth can cause a lot more problems than just annoying your tongue. Read on.
Dental Implant Facts:
- Dental Implants can replace one, several or all your teeth
- The cost of a dental implant is similar to fixing an old tooth with a root canal and crown (cap), but you can expect to keep an implant for life
- Pain free—patients usually report little to no pain after a dental implant
- Half a Million patients get implants each year in the US alone
- Implants avoid sacrificing neighboring teeth, which helps your teeth last longer
- Implants cannot get cavities
- You still need to brush your implants to keep the gums healthy
Dental Implants can be used to replace one or more teeth. They can even replace all your teeth if necessary.
The Technical Stuff
- Dental implants look like a screw, but are so much more than that. Billions of research dollars have gone in to developing this little screw. Every angle and dimension has been studied to the max.
- Dental implants are made of High Grade titanium which is biocompatible (which means your body likes it and won't reject it)
- Bone cells fuse to the surface of the titanium implant at a microscopic level giving it rigidity and allowing it to be the foundation of your new tooth.
Full Mouth Implants
Sometimes all of your teeth are beyond repair. Traditionally, dentures have been the only solution. Not anymore. The aging of your teeth doesn't have to mean the end of your vitality and identity. With dental implants you can be restored to that beautiful smile of your youth (or an even better one).
