In 2008, dental implant therapy has become the preferred method to replace missing teeth and is the recommended treatment to be used for all patients needing lower dentures. New techniques make the treatment easy to have done and do not require hospitalization.
We offer sedation to make sure you are comfortable through any portion of the treatment.
In 2008, if you are considering having implants placed, make sure the dentist has a cone beam CT to use for your treatment. This is new technology, which was first available 3 years ago. We have had one of these for nearly 3 years and is revolutionizing the way dental implants are done. The iCAT cone beam CT gives so much more diagnostic information that a conventional flat xray film that soon it will be the only way implants should be treatment planned. It gives a 3D look at the anatomy and helps to avoid problems that are not visible on a conventional xray.
Implants will stabilize loose dentures or act as anchors for new fixed replacement teeth. They don’t decay or break like natural teeth. Implants allow us to give you natural looking, stable replacement teeth so you can smile, chew and look great!.
