Fix Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

What’s So Bad About Losing a Tooth?

Is it a big problem to lose a tooth? Believe it or not, yes! Losing even a single tooth can cause your other teeth to shift and move around, which is not good. Missing teeth affect your ability to chew and to absorb nutrients from your food. Because it’s difficult to chew with missing teeth, you may begin favoring softer foods and more carbohydrates, which can cause you to gain weight. Other bad things can happen; your speech can be affected. The gaps in your teeth may cause your face to change shape, creating a "sunken" appearance that can make you look much older than you really are. As soon as a tooth comes out, bone loss begins in the jaw, contributing to that “aged” appearance. Dental implants can replace one tooth or many and are the best way to treat a missing tooth (or missing teeth). Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, they look so natural that even a dentist has to look hard to tell the difference.

Implant Dentistry

Don't Hide Your Smile - Remake It!
Dental implants offer the perfect solution for replacing lost teeth. From the front of the mouth, where they can be seen, to the back, where they provide chewing stability, implants can help you regain an inviting and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which rest on top of your gums, dental implants are secured under your gum line. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like, because it pokes through the gums just like the original did - it's like growing a new tooth! Implants can replace multiple lost teeth. Even people with no teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that don't shift when they talk and don't need to be removed at night. Because we control the entire process from implant placement to crown fabrication, there's no need to be referred to another office.
