 "After
I lost my front tooth, I was embarrassed to smile
even when I was doing the things I loved. A friend
suggested a dental implant because it looks natural
and is the only option that is intended to be permanent.
Within two months, I had my new tooth. When
I tell people Ihad a fromt tooth replaced,
they say, "Which one?" Now that's something
to smile about" - Robert Hernandez Age 50 |
If you have experienced
tooth loss, you are not alone. According to the
American
Dental Association, more than 20 million people
in the United States are missing all of their natural
teeth, and more than 100 million are missing from
11 to15 teeth. Last year alone, dental professionals
performed more than 500,000 dental implant procedures
worldwide.

 Dental
implants offer a solution to missing teeth that
is intended to be permanent. For over 30 years,
dental implants have brought naturally beautiful,
confident smiles to patients. A dental implant
is a small titanium screw or cylinder which is
surgically placed in the upper or lower jawbone.
The implant replaces the root of the missing
tooth, providing an anchor for your new tooth/teeth.
Many patients choose dental implants over other
procedures, because the result is a natural appearance
that is intended to be permanent. |
