Modern solutions for missing teeth

Dental implants are an exciting development in the field of reconstructive dentistry. Patients who are missing one or more teeth no longer have to put up with ill-fitting dentures or removable bridges. With dental implants, there is now a permanent solution!

Dental implants are now the treatment of choice for patients who are missing teeth. Most dental implants are made of a strong, lightweight titanium alloy. They are anchored into the jawbone, replacing the root of your lost tooth or teeth. The implant then fuses with your jawbone over the course of several weeks, becoming a natural and permanent part of your mouth. After we attach your natural looking replacement teeth, your implant restoration is complete.

Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They require no more upkeep than your natural teeth, and they are built to last a lifetime. Our practice recommends the Maestro Implant System™ from BioHorizons®, leaders in the implant field. The Maestro Implant System™ has a well-documented success rate that exceeds the industry standard. We feel confident that with the Maestro implant System™ our patients are given the finest results.

Why choose dental implants?

Dental implants are more than just an attractive replacement for missing teeth. Implants can improve your speech and allow you to eat the foods you love. You will no longer have to face the embarrassment of loose dentures or the headache of trying to find an effective adhesive. Imagine what you can do with all the time and expense you will save!

We urge our patients to remember that replacing missing teeth is not simply a matter of aesthetics. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will shift position if the space is not filled. This can cause chewing problems, as well as significant jaw pain and headaches associated with bite disorders like TMJ (temporo mandibular joint).

Dental implants are significantly more comfortable than dentures and restorations with dental bridges. One of the unfortunate long-term consequences of removable dentures and bridges is that wearers often experience bone loss and gum recession. This can cause a “shrunken” appearance around the mouth and jaw. Because dental implants are secured in the jaw, they halt bone loss, strengthen your bite, and preserve your facial structure.
