What are Dental Implants?

This advanced permanent tooth replacement uses artificial roots that are placed in the jawbone to act as an anchor for the artificial natural-looking tooth implant.

Is the Procedure complicated?

Dental implants are placed at our offices.  Typically, sedation is recommended and used during the surgical procedure to eliminate any discomfort.  However, there have been cases where a patient opts to only have local anesthetic.

Are implants painful?

Most patients indicate that the discomfort is minimal.  Many feel great the next day and are able to return to work.

What results can I expect?

Your implants will look and function like natural teeth.  Even better, your implants will never develop decay and will never require a root canal.  You can eat foods you love and talk, laugh and smile with confidence.  In addition, you will notice an overall improvement in your appearance and your speech.

What are some of the other advantages of implants?

Implants help to preserve the jawbone to prevent the appearance of premature aging.  They provide great ability for a lower denture or may completely eliminate the need for a denture.
