Dental Implants

Even people with superb oral hygiene can suffer from tooth loss. Missing teeth impair your ability to speak clearly, chew hard foods, and smile with confidence. In the past, the only options to replace missing teeth were fixed bridges and partial dentures. While these options provide temporary relief, lasting an average of 7 to 10 years, they place strain on existing teeth and can eventually lead to additional tooth loss. Dental implants are the most contemporary tooth-replacement option available today, and they most closely mimic nature's design.

Dental implants require two simple phases of treatment. The first phase is placement of the implant in the location of the missing tooth. This serves as the anchor for the replacement tooth. Several weeks later (approximately six), the implant will bond to the bone. Then in phase two, Dr. DeRose places a natural-looking tooth on to the implant.

Implants are wonderful, because they can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth, or all of one’s missing teeth. Edentulous patients (those missing all of their teeth), love the reliability and comfort of implant-supported dentures.

Another great attribute with this type of treatment, is that in most cases, dental implants last a lifetime.
