Implants for a beautiful smile!

Bone loss will always follow the loss of a tooth. It can affect your appearance, your speech, your ability to enjoy food, and your self-esteem. It will also put undue stress on remaining adjacent teeth.

Implants can be used to…

• replace a single tooth or an entire set of teeth
• anchor dentures or bridgework
• restore the look and feel of your natural teeth
• keep gums looking healthy and young.
• boost confidence

To find out if you are a candidate for dental implants, you’ll need a comprehensive dental examination with x-rays to assess your oral and jawbone health. At the same time, we can answer any questions you may have to determine whether the dental implant technique is the right solution for your smile. Call today to schedule your consultation appointment!
