• After thirty-five years, dental implants continue to show improving longevity. They outlast and outperform traditional bridgework and removable dentures.
• Dental implants are less invasive than traditional bridgework.
• Initial cost of dental implants is higher than traditional bridgework and removable dentures.
• Traditional bridgework and removable dentures will require multiple replacements. Over a lifetime, the cost of these additional replacement procedures will far exceed the cost of dental implants.
• In the long run dental implants provide significant financial savings (and freedom from the need of multiple replacement procedures).

Diagnosis: To find out if dental implants are right for you, you'll need a comprehensive examination. We can help you decide if implants are right for you by evaluating your medical history, examining your gums, bones, teeth, TMJ (jaw joints) taking impressions and x-rays. Careful analysis of your bite and chewing functions is also important. Gum care and ongoing control of gum health is necessary. Uncontrolled gum disease can destroy implants.

Treatment planning: Implant replacement teeth can be fixed (they never come out). They can be removable but solid and firmly attached, just like natural teeth. They can be custom designed to fit your individual needs.
