Dental implants replace missing teeth
"If
you are missing one or more of your natural teeth, you share a
problem with over 10 million Americans. The loss of just a single
tooth can initiate a course of events that can destroy an entire
mouth. Teeth will drift and tip into a space that is created by
missing teeth to change the way that you bite, chew, and smile.
Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The
implants are artificial tooth roots anchored in the jawbone onto
which replacement teeth are permanently secured. Since implanted
teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than removable like dentures,
they allow you to return to the comfort and function associated with
natural teeth.
Dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can
improve your appearance, boost self confidence, and allow you to
speak with greater clarity.
You might wish to consult with Dr. Dougherty before you visit
your plastic surgeon. Dental implants have created such dramatic
beautiful smiles that people say "I don't believe I look and feel
ten years younger!"
If you have any questions about missing teeth and possible implant
treatment, please call our office.
