Overview
Dental Implants: The Best Solution for Missing Teeth
What are Dental Implants?
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
Improved Appearance – Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth, so they are the best option for replacing teeth and providing a beautiful smile.
Improved Comfort – Since dental implants become part of you, as they are fused with your bone, they eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
Improved Speech – Often, with poor-fitting dentures, teeth can slip and cause your speech to be affected. Implants allow you to speak clearly without the worry of dentures slipping.
Ease of Eating – Unlike removable dentures, which can make chewing difficult, implants act like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
Durability – In general, dental implants have a success rate of 98 percent, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
Who Can Get a Dental Implant?
Anyone who is healthy enough to undergo a dental extraction or oral surgery can be considered a candidate for a dental implant procedure.
Healthy gums and adequate bone to hold the implant must both be considered. Heavy smokers and those with uncontrolled chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease may need additional evaluations. Dr. McGee can help you determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
