Implants …

… are not painful!
… are permanent!
… are like natural teeth!

Dental implants, replacement tooth roots made of titanium and placed into the jawbone, are one of the fastest growing services in dentistry today. Many patients who previously suffered from missing teeth, denture soreness, decreased chewing ability or loss of facial structure are now taking advantage of dental implants to solve these problems.

Why do I need implants?
Any patient who is missing teeth is most likely a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants primarily serve as an alternative
to partial or full dentures for tooth replacement. Those who wear dentures, or are considering them, may wish to investigate the
many benefits of implants instead, such as easier chewing and speaking, and a better quality of life. Even patients over 90 years
of age have replaced their loose partials and full dentures with implant-supported restorations, and their main comment is
“I wish I had
done this sooner.”

Do implants hurt?
The process of receiving implants is generally comfortable, with local anesthesia used in many cases today. Our patients also
report little need for pain medication afterward.

As they heal, the implants literally become attached to the jawbone with a great deal of retention. Since they are permanent,
implants don’t cause nearly the discomfort, soreness or inconvenience of dentures. In fact, most of our patients report finding the implants as comfortable and solid as their own natural teeth.
