Tooth Replacements (dental implants)

Over the past decade, the standard of care for the replacement of missing teeth has changed significantly. The reason for this change is the extensive use of dental implants to replace missing teeth. Millions of dental implants have been placed with unqualified success.

Dental implants are a tooth replacement therapy that mimics nature to create a base upon which  the dentist can recreate the look, feel and function of natural teeth. . The location of Dental Implants is now designed by utilizing the i-Cat, (a cone beam 3-D Dental Imaging System). Software allows the dentist to view the entire head and jaw areas in three dimensions, directing where implants are best placed.

Possible advantages of dental implant therapy:

• Minimizes  oral bone loss
• Reduces  compromise to adjacent healthy teeth
• Preserves  natural facial contours and appearance
• Restores  oral function in a manner that most closely resembles natural teeth

For those of you who wear full dentures, partial dentures or need traditional bridges replaced, dental implants are an option that may help to preserve your oral bone, gum tissue, natural facial contour and restore a stable chewing platform.
