Crowns and conventional bridges or
dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For
some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very
natural.
Surgically placed below the gums over a
series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base
for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.
Implants offer stability because they
fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps
your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the
secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to
have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough
evaluation by Dr. Buchholtz will help determine whether you are a good
candidate for dental implants. |
