Have you lost one or more of your teeth?

Are you wearing Dentures or other replacement teeth?

Dental Implants could change your life!

Previously, Amalgam (Silver) fillings were the most popular form of dental restoration. Today, through the continual developments in Cosmetic Dentistry, healthier, aesthetically pleasing restorative materials are now available. Amalgam Fillings are comprised of fifty percent mercury. Investigations have shown that Mercury can leak from dental fillings and can actually be absorbed by the body. Mercury is a heavy metal, and there is a fair amount of controversy about it’s impact on human health. Bonded resin and Porcelain Restorations can be virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth; allowing you to restore your oral condition without compromising the aesthetic appearance of your smile.

The loss of a tooth or the inability for teeth to perform their natural functions, can severely affect eating patterns, self-confidence, and appearance. Missing teeth and gaps in the mouth can distract from an otherwise beautiful smile. Dental Implants offer a permanent solution to this problem. The implants actually mimic your natural teeth and provide a fully functional replacement for missing teeth.

Dental Implants are generally made from Titanium and are essentially a screw that is placed into the jawbone. Dental Implants take on the role of an anchor within the mouth, which is then used to fasten ‘false teeth’ into position. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone to support the replacement teeth.

As the mouth heals, approximately two to six months after surgery, the bone and implant begin to fuse together. Small posts or abutments are then attached to the implants, which are used to anchor Crowns, Bridges or Dentures.

Our teeth play an essential role in our lives. Dental Implants provide amazing stability for patients, aiding with biting pressure, as well as reducing irritation and oral sores, generally experienced by denture wearers. Dental Implants enable you to recover the natural function of your teeth and your beautiful smile.
