Dental Implants:
The Most Natural Replacement for Missing Teeth 

What are Dental Implants?

Quite simply, Dental Implants are artificial replacements for natural tooth roots. They attach firmly into the gum and jawbone, becoming quite solid. Your general dentist then places a crown onto this artificial tooth root which looks feels and functions like a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to anchor partials and full dentures.

What are some of advantages of Dental Implants?

  1. More attractive appearance.
  2. Speech improvement.
  3. Greater comfort.
  4. Greater ability to chew food naturally.

What are the advantages of anchoring dentures with Dental Implants?

Implants look and feel like natural teeth. Because Dental Implants are fixed in the jaw, there are none of the problems that can be associated with removable appliances (dentures and partials), including:

  1. The slipping, irritation & pain that can accompany dentures.
  2. The tedious removal for overnight soaking and cleaning.
  3. The application of adhesive creme every morning.

What is the success rate of Dental Implants?

The success rate of Dental Implants after they have become fixed into the jawbone is between 94% and 98%. If you are a non-smoker with good oral hygiene habits, the percentage is closer to 100%.

How long will they last?

Dental implants integrate into the jawbone. Implants have been in patients mouths for 25 years. With excellent oral hygiene and regular check-ups and cleanings, your implant should last a lifetime.

Are Dental Implants Expensive?

A single Dental Implant costs slightly more than a bridge and often is not covered by dental insurance. However Dental Implants tend to last much longer and have less problems.

How Predictable is the Procedure?

The success rate of Dental Implants is between 94% and 98%. If patients practice good, daily oral care and regular implant maintenance, Dental Implants can last over 30 years.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental Implants begin with an evaluation by your general dentist who will decide if you are good candidate for the procedure. If he feels implants might be possible, he will send you to an implant surgeon for a placement evaluation.
