Dental Implants

Missing teeth can present an array of problems for a significant portion of the adult population. When teeth become lost, the open spaces left behind invite oral complications, such as adjacent teeth drifting or migrating into these spaces or opposing teeth supra-erupting (growing up or down into the open areas). This movement negatively impacts how the teeth fit together upon closing, and can initiate a cascade of effects that alters facial appearance, chewing and speaking abilities, diet, and oral and overall health.

Replacing missing teeth as soon as possible must be a priority in order to evade the negative outcomes of tooth loss. While tooth replacement solutions have evolved over the years, none compare to the versatility and permanence of dental implants. Implant dentistry offers a number of solutions for tooth loss, from replacing single missing teeth to returning functionality to a fully edentulous mouth.
