Loosing one or more of your teeth creates a gap in your smile, affects your
ability to chew properly, and can alter your diet and nutrition. In addition
to these serious issues, tooth loss also causes bone loss.

 

Dental implants are the new standard of care for
tooth replacement. They bond with healthy bone
and provide permanent support for dental crowns
and dentures. Dental implants look and feel like
natural teeth and can last a lifetime.

 

Crowns, bridges and dentures address the short-term cosmetic problem of
missing teeth but do nothing to stop bone loss. Crown & bridge dentistry
requires grinding down healthy teeth leaving them at much greater
risk for cavities and tooth failure. Bridges do not stop bone loss. Dentures
become uncomfortable and unstable over time as the jawbone shrinks
causing eating and speech problems.
With dental implants, healthy teeth are not compromised. Dental implants, like
natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and stop bone loss. Leading dental organizations
recognize dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement.
