Implants The New Gold Standard For Missing Teeth

Teeth on either side of space remain untouched
Implants sustain supporting bone
30% of bridges must be replaced before 10 years
50% of bridges must be replaced before 15 years
The advantage of having a single tooth implant is that rather than having a 30% to 50% failure rate at 10 and15 years, the implant success rate for that same time period is about 97%.
Predictability for implants is very high

Using two to four implants to anchor the denture has allowed our patients the ability to eat more comfortably and confidently
Many patients struggle with lower dentures, and implants can make a big difference in their quality of life
Not only does the implant retained denture improve function, more importantly it retains the bony ridge that supports the denture
It preserves bone which will alleviate undesirable changes to the facial anatomy and structure
The implants, unlike dentures, are very stable and similar to having natural tooth roots in the jaw bone
Patient acceptability today is much higher because there is more publicity about dental implants. It is not uncommon for a patient to know someone who has already undergone the procedure, then come in and asked about their own implant options.
