Dental Implants and You



BY DR. DAVID NELSON

Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that their teeth appear natural and that their facial contours will be preserved. Dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants restore the strength to your bite and the beauty to your smile. Missing teeth not only take away from the attractiveness of your smile they can trigger bone loss and the shifting of your remaining teeth, leading to further problems. The placement of dental implants helps to avoid these problems, providing increased structural support and function. You may want to combine your dental implants treatment with a teeth-whitening procedure or other comprehensive treatment plan to maximize the beauty of your smile.

The Dental Implants Procedure

Dental implants can last for decades and are indistinguishable from natural teeth. You and your family will forget you ever had a gap in your smile! Unlike dentures, dental implants require no special maintenance; and unlike bridges, the risk of breaking dental implants is very low. Time is of the essence when replacing missing teeth because your remaining teeth can shift to fill the gap, and unnatural gaps make dental hygiene difficult to maintain. The patients who have received dental implants have found them to be an ideal solution for gaps in their smile caused by lost teeth. The dental implants create natural-looking replacements for teeth that are missing due to injury or disease.
