Dental Implants

Today, if you are missing teeth or faced with the prospect of losing a tooth or teeth, dental implants are a state of the art option that can replicate the quality of life that you enjoyed with your own natural teeth. They are essentially artificial roots that allow Dr. Smith to either design a crown or a prosthesis (like a partial denture or denture) that can attach to these artificial roots. Dr. Smith has been successfully utilizing dental implants to restore his patient’s smiles since 1999.

Although conventional bridge work is often an alternative, the predictability and long term success of dental implants is unmatched. A dental implant consists of an artificial root that is surgically placed and integrates or fuses into your own jawbone. The implant is then utilized to support a freestanding tooth or help retain a denture.Using the cutting edge of implant technology, Dr. Smith and his team manage all aspects of the dental implant process. A one-stop approach to implant restoration ensures a synergy and quality assurance for successful treatment. It also ensures that the most up-to-date materials and techniques are being used to improve your results. Unlike many other dentists, Dr. Smith does the initial placement of dental implants himself. Then the next steps of restoring your bridgework is begun. In select cases, this can be accomplished in the same day, so that you can immediately begin to enjoy the benefits of an implant retained or supported restoration.

Once the implants are restored, they become an incredibly durable part of your smile. Regular check-ups are an important part of your ongoing care. With our experienced team we can provide this ongoing treatment for existing implants and even provide repairs and maintenance for implants.
