Implants: Permanent, Secure Tooth Replacements
|
| |
When permanent teeth are lost, regardless
of the reason or number of teeth, dental
implants can offer a “new lease
on life.” They are superior to
other choices because they are solid,
secure, and esthetic. After nearly 35
years of use, they have a 90-95% proven
success rate in appropriately chosen
cases.
An implant is a special surgical grade
titanium post, manufactured to highly
precise specifications, under strict
sterile conditions, that is inserted
surgically into the jawbone below the
gum surface. With proper use of the newest
anesthetics and medications you need
not be concerned about pain. As the bone
bonds to the post, it forms a secure
foundation onto which your new teeth
are then attached and shaped to match
your mouth. The number of teeth being
replaced will determine the best kind
of restoration for you. Implants can
help replace a single tooth, or a full
set of teeth. If you have been suffering
with partial or full dentures, or are
missing teeth, or feel you need teeth
extracted, do not hesitate to call to
be evaluated for implants.
