Dental implants will change your life! Do you:
- have a missing tooth?
- wear poorly fitting dentures?
- have a failing bridge?
If you answered "yes" to one of those questions, then you can enjoy the benefits that dental implants offer.
You aren't alone, statistics show that 69% of adults, ages 35 to 44, have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay. Furthermore, by age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth.
Dental implants are long-term replacements that your oral and maxillofacial surgeon surgically places in your jawbone. Composed of titanium metal that "fuses" with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, dental implants never slip or make embarrassing noises that advertise the fact that you have "false teeth," and never decay like teeth anchoring fixed bridges.
Many patients who have selected dental implants describe a quality of life that is much more comfortable and secure than the lifestyle endured by those with fixed bridges or removable dentures. Talk to your dentist to see if dental implants will work for you!
