Replace Missing Teeth With Strong Dental Implants

Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth! Let Lake Country Family Dental show you why dental implants are becoming the new standard for permanent tooth replacement.

Unlike dentures or partials, you won’t experience problems with slipping or sliding with dental implants. They don’t require a specialized daily care routine beyond regular brushing and flossing. Unlike bridges, dental implants don’t require alteration to your existing, healthy teeth. In fact, bridges can be supported by implants for fewer alterations during a more complex restoration.

Unfortunately, the problem of missing teeth goes beyond the cosmetic issue. Missing teeth put additional stress on your remaining teeth and can lead to damage, including fractures and further tooth loss.

Even more concerning, one or more missing teeth can eventually lead to significant bone loss in your jaw as the bone becomes atrophied from lack of use. Over time, this diminishing bone can lead to visible changes in your face and cause you to appear prematurely aged.

Dental implants will stop this process in its tracks, and that’s something that even dentures and partials can’t do.

Dental Implant Candidates and Placement

When you visit Lake Country Family Dental to discuss dental implants, we’ll perform a thorough examination, including X-rays, and go over your health history to help us determine whether dental implants are the right option for you.

The placement of dental implants is a shared process performed by our team and an oral surgeon. The titanium post for your implant is the first step, performed by the oral surgeon. Next, we’ll place the implant crown or bridge after the appropriate waiting period for the healing of the bone.
