Dental Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Functional Benefits: Because dental implants are placed into the jawbone, they prevent your restoration from slipping out of place. You can enjoy restored oral function, clear speech, and an unrestricted diet thanks to this stability.
- Health-Related Benefits: Dental implants act as tooth roots, maintaining stimulation to the jawbone and protecting your oral health. This is essential to prevent jawbone atrophy, which can cause further tooth loss and create an aged appearance.
- Cosmetic Benefits: Dental implants act as tooth roots, maintaining stimulation to the jawbone and protecting your oral health. This is essential to prevent jawbone atrophy, which can cause further tooth loss and create an aged appearance.

Interested in Dental Implants?
To Qualify for Dental Implants, You Should:
-
Have Sufficient Bone Tissue
Substantial jawbone tissue is required to support dental implants. If you have suffered jaw atrophy, you may need to undergo dental bone grafting before receiving implants. -
Be in Good Oral & Overall Health
Oral health issues such as periodontal disease should be resolved before dental implant treatment. Because conditions like diabetes can increase the risk of complications, they should be under control before treatment. -
Avoid Smoking
Smoking can increase your risk of serious complications because it impairs your body's ability to heal. You will need to refrain from smoking before surgery and during recovery. Ideally, you should plan to break the habit permanently.

Cathy was very informative about the different procedures and how they would be done. They will check with my insurance and we would discuss cost after my next appointment.
Ramona Lantz
I underwent 4 hours of heavy dental work under medicated sedation due to my dental anxiety plus 2 months ago I also did the same treatment and both times went extremely well. The Drs were nice and explained everything so my anxiety would stay in check. I’ve been a patient at Smiles for Life for over 6 years and also took my mother who suffers from advanced Parkinson’s to them for full dentures and they were fabulous 💙.

Up to date procedures and equipment to review the entire structure and provide options to restore, preserve and have a healthy life and proper ability to eat and chew properly and to be healthy and digest a healthy diet.

Smiles for life, and where you get life to smile.

Cathy is delightful and skilled hygienist that I’ve counted on for nearly 20 years. Wouldn’t still be traveling nearly an hour from my new home to this dentist office if I didn’t have full confidence in Cathy.
