Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth, or even an entire dental arch. Here are your options:
While dental implants are strong, poor oral hygiene can lead to problems. If not cared for properly, they can become loose or fail. To prevent peri-implantitis, brush and floss daily, limit sugary foods, and visit your dentist regularly.
If you grind your teeth or clench your jaw, we’ll help determine how many implants you need to support your bite. We might also provide a night guard to protect your implants.
Dental implants are an effective way to replace damaged or missing teeth, offering numerous advantages:
The implant procedure is usually more comfortable than a tooth extraction. Most patients experience minimal discomfort with local or general anesthesia.
Treatment time varies by patient but can range from one appointment to several months if jaw surgery is needed. Most of the time, patients spend little time in the dentist's chair.
Anyone healthy enough for tooth extraction can receive implants, from teens with damaged teeth to older adults seeking permanent solutions.
While rare, if an implant fails, it can be replaced with another one.
Are you ready to regain your smile and protect your jaw with realistic tooth replacements? Dental implants are an excellent solution for missing teeth due to infection, trauma, or other issues.
