Dental implants will Give You the Healthy, Strong Smile that Nature Intended
People don’t realize the importance of a full, functional, beautiful smile until it’s gone. To replace your missing teeth, consider dental implants, the closest prosthetic to natural teeth. Dr. McIntyre and Dr. Whiting have extensive training in placing dental implants, and they continue to pursue the latest developments in implantology through continuing education, seminars, and new technology.
Dentures, partials, and bridges can replace missing teeth. However, for the most natural feeling and functioning prosthetic, patients turn to dental implants. At Smiles For Life, we will assess your oral health and make sure that you have sufficient bone tissue to support tooth replacement therapy. The dental implant process involves placing small, biocompatible titanium posts into the sockets left by missing teeth. Once bone tissue naturally integrates with the posts to form a solid foundation, Dr. McIntyre or Dr. Whiting will permanently attach an aesthetic dental implant restoration, commonly known as a crown.
Patients with dental implants can eat whatever they choose, whenever they choose. The lifelike prosthetics require the same oral hygiene as natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings. Secure and solid, patients find that dental implants improve quality of life, appearance, and oral function.
