Have you ever had a bad dream of having to show up in school or at work missing a front tooth?
Losing a tooth (or teeth) can be a devastating blow – emotionally and professionally. It can easily damage one’s self-esteem in immeasurable proportions.
A dental implant is a replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Implants are fused in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed.
With dental implants:
- Patients can eat anything without chewing difficulties.
- Patients can smile without worrying about their teeth.
- Patients can talk and laugh confidently without the fear of missing teeth being noticed, or dentures clicking, slipping or falling out.
- Dental implants look and function like natural teeth, and the patient’s facial structure remains natural.
- With proper care, dental implants have the potential of lasting a lifetime.
