THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE FOR REPLACING MISSING TEETH

Imagine if you could plant a seed in your jaw where a tooth once was; only to find a few months later, a new tooth growing in the empty space! Today this dream is a reality with Dental Implants. Dental Implants are fixtures placed in the jaw to permanently replace missing teeth. The treatment is not experimental. Nearly hundreds of thousands of implants have been successfully placed worldwide. Implants have a probability of success approaching 99%. They truly are the treatment of choice for replacing missing teeth.

Implant treatments are most successful using the team approach. Your dentist will usually refer you to a surgeon (either periodontist or oral surgeon) to place the implants in your jaw. Your dentist and surgeon will meet beforehand to construct a treatment plan that will work best to restore your dentition They will also need to meet with you to explain their findings and have you sign on to the plan. Once all treatment planning is set and you agree, the surgeon will place the necessary implants. Once healing is complete, you will return to your dentist. Your dentist will make your new teeth and attach them to the implants. These are your Dental Implant Restorations. It's that simple. The treatment is usually completed within 6 months and there is overall very little discomfort.  

Be sure to inquire about Dental Implants if you need a tooth replaced. Dental Implants truly are the treatment of choice for replacing missing teeth.
