When faced with a missing tooth, there are a few options that can be considered including dental implants and bridges.

Many choose dental implants because they result in the most natural-looking, lifelike restoration.

Dental Implants Provide a Long-Lasting Solution

Implants are excellent for people:

• with one or more teeth missing
• with a bridge that cannot be attached without impairing the ability to eat and speak
• who have lost facial structure and contour due to missing teeth and bone loss in the jaw

The Dental Implant Treatment

If you are a candidate for tooth replacement using dental implants, your treatment will consist of placing a small titanium "root" to support your new tooth.

Once placed, your new titanium root will naturally bond with your jawbone to create a new, stable foundation, able to support a new tooth, crown or bridge.

After Your Successful Dental Implant Treatment

• Your new teeth will function naturally.
• Your new teeth and look realistic.
• Your bone and jaw will be more stable.
• Your face will regain its natural shape.
• Further bone loss and gum recession will be prevented.
• Your bite will be stronger.
• Your smile and oral health will be improved.

No matter which option ends up being the best tooth replacement solution for you, it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible to prevent further loss.
