Implants:

One of the most dramatic advancements in dentistry over the past twenty years has been the development of dental implants.  The concept is remarkably simple:  A sterile titanium rod is placed in the site where a tooth was lost.  A cap or crown is then cemented onto the rod.  The result is the closest thing to a natural tooth that your dentist can provide.  Implants are incredibly strong and because they're made of titanium, there's no chance of developing any future cavities like you might with a crown.  Dollar for dollar implants represent the best long term investment.  Studies have repeatedly shown that traditional crown and bridge work needs to be replaced much more often than implants ever do. 

Implants aren't just for restoring a single tooth though.  Implant bridges can be created to restore large spaces.  Loose fitting dentures can also be modified to attach to implants.  Implant supported dentures can change a patient's life.  Denture wearers can now enjoy a much greater degree of function, comfort and confidence.  Call us to determine if implants are right for you.
