Dental Implants
There have been many recent advancements in dental implants. It is now possible to retain dentures and to place crowns immediately following the extraction of the teeth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Patients who are in good general oral health and have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, injury or other reasons are good candidates for a dental implant. Patients often prefer a dental implant over a bridge since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implants look and feel natural and provide for a confident smile.
A dental implant could be an option for you. If you have missing teeth, dentures that don't feel secure, or have difficulty chewing, call Dr. Weaver to discuss the possibility of a dental implant.
