Implants
Dental implants have become a choice treatment option for many
patients who are missing one or more teeth. A dental implant
is a replacement tooth "root" constructed of medical grade
titanium. A porcelain crown or bridge is attached to this titanium “root.” Teeth
restored with dental implants are extremely stable, strong
and natural looking. Patients with dental implants are able
to eat, smile and laugh without fear or embarrassment that
their denture may slip or click, or that their bridge will
trap food.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Eat all those delicious foods that are difficult to
chew.
- Smile without concern about your teeth.
- Talk and laugh without the fear of missing teeth being
noticed or dentures becoming loose or falling out.
- Dental implants can never decay.
- Dental implants have the potential of lasting a lifetime
Implant Stabilized Dentures
Unfortunately, some patients may lose all of their natural
teeth due to periodontal disease or tooth decay. These
patients no longer have to endure the insecurity of dentures
that slip. With implant-stabilized dentures, no longer
will they have to carefully select foods that don't require
any chewing. Patients can enjoy the confidence of being
able to eat foods they previously avoided. Ask someone
on our staff how Dr. Dixon can stabilize your dentures
with implants.
