Implants Replace Missing Teeth

As a Board Certified Prosthodontist, my experience has shown that the most predictable and effective method of replacing missing natural teeth is with dental implants.  Here's an example of implants we have placed and restored in our office.

Grandpa's New Front Tooth

Nature is kind to seniors, and while their teeth may not look ideal, they can still be very healthy.  Grandpa has good bone and gums, lots of stain and old fillings, but no active decay.  He needed a crown on the front tooth on the right of the picture.  So that's what we did.

Look Younger With Dental Implants

When teeth are removed, the jawbone begins a continuous, lifelong process of resorption, or shrinkage.  As a result, there is a collapse of facial support, less height in the lower third of the face, loss of facial and lip muscle tone, and weakening of the chewing muscles.

The main physiological benefit of dental implants is that they preserve bone.  The implants stimulate the jawbone as the tooth roots once did.  By doing so, facial contours are maintained also. With natural lip and cheek support, the implants help maintain your youthful appearance.
