Are you currently missing teeth or wearing dentures and wondering if you are a candidate for dental implants? Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth that provide for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. Thanks to this revolutionary procedure, many people around the world are once again able to laugh, eat, speak and chew with confidence. No more stifling your smile to conceal missing teeth. No more worrying about your dentures slipping or falling out during meals. No more dealing with messy denture creams. Sounds great, right?
The procedure involves inserting prosthetic screws into a patient’s jawbone to take the place of missing tooth roots. The jaw must then be allowed to heal around the screws, anchoring them securely into place. Once the jawbone has healed, crowns, bridges or partial dentures can be placed over and attached to the prosthetic screws. The result is natural looking, permanent replacement teeth. Once your dental implants are in place, the only person who will know you have them is you!
To find out whether or not you are a candidate for dental implants, you need to talk to a Dentist or Oral Surgeon in your area that offers this procedure. There are very few reasons that rule patients out so there is a good chance that you are a candidate. A portion of the cost of dental implants may be covered by your dental insurance plan, and some dental offices offer financing options to help with the cost of treatment.
