Implant Consultation, Process and Benefits

Implants are tooth root substitutes that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone and act to stabilize the artificial teeth to which they are attached. Suitable candidates for dental Implants need to have an adequate bone level and density, must not be prone to infection, and must be willing to maintain good oral hygiene practices.

With sound oral hygiene and other habits (including non-smoking), dental implants are often successful.  Implants often allow patients greater satisfaction as compared to dentures, due to the semi-permanent nature of the new, aesthetically pleasing tooth.  Implants also restore ability to chew and speak properly.
