The largest benefit of dental implants is that they offer a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. When you are missing teeth, those adjacent may slip out of place, altering your bite. Missing teeth will also result in uneven tooth wear, jaw shrinkage and collapse, and an awkward, embarrassing smile. The only way to address these issues is through tooth replacement, and the only way to achieve permanent results is with dental implants.

Why Dental Implants?

In addition to being the only permanent solution, dental implants offer a number of advantages over other types of tooth replacement. Inserted directly into your jaw, dental implants do not rely on adjacent teeth or adhesives for support. Not only does this minimize impact to your natural teeth, it allows your implants to offer the most secure and reliable foundation for dental restorations.

Dental implants will not slip or fall out at inopportune times, making them functionally superior to other forms of tooth replacement. They are also substantially more aesthetically appealing. The dental restorations placed over implants look and feel exactly like your natural teeth. This allows dental implants to provide a flawless appearance that restores beauty, function, and strength to your entire smile.

Dental implants can be used to hold single restorations such as dental crowns into place, but can also be used to support loose dentures. The restoration solution most suited to address your needs will be determined during your examination with Dr. Peffly. Your subsequent consultation will be used to answer any questions about dental implants that you may have and to prepare you for what you can expect from this superior form of tooth replacement.
