About Dental Implants for Patients

Dental Implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots anchored in the gum or jawbone on which replacement teeth are permanently secured. Since implanted teeth are fixed in the mouth rather than removable like dentures, they allow the wearer to return to the comfort and function associated with natural teeth.

Implants provide a solid foundation of support in the mouth for permanent, non-removable teeth. Increased chewing ability means you can enjoy more nutritious foods, contributing to your overall health and well-being. In short, dental implants improve the quality of your life. They can improve your appearance, boost self-confidence, and allow you to speak with more clarity.

If you've ever felt frustrated about the function of bridge work or dentures . . . or your overall health and your dental problems have kept you out of the picture for too long, it is time you considered the benefits of implant dentistry.

When it comes to quality of life, statistics for people who wear dentures leave a lot to be desired. You may be surprised to learn that 29% of denture wearers eat only soft or mashed foods, and 50% avoid many foods all together.

The natural look, feel and function of implanted teeth have given thousands of former denture wearers and sufferers of serious tooth loss, a new lease on life.
