Conventional bridges or dentures may not be your
only options when replacing missing teeth. For some people, dental implants
offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the
gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a
base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.
Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the
implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and
some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional
substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to have health gums and adequate bone to
support the implant. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Davidson will help determine
whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
