Dentures and partials should solve dental problems, not
create them! When they don’t perform as well as expected,
or if you want to avoid them entirely, implants may be
the answer. In many cases you can have teeth replaced
with implants that look so much like natural teeth only
you will know. Implant dentistry is a fixed,
permanent solution for missing teeth.
Dr. Ron Weaks and the Longbranch
Dental Implant Diagnostic & Treatment Center staff
can replace teeth lost due to accident or disease.
Implant patients can once again enjoy eating their favorite
foods, speaking more naturally, and smiling with confidence.
Properly designed and placed, dental implants give replacement
teeth a solid foundation, restoring much of the function
and appearance of natural teeth. They also offer the same
strength, security, and comfort as your own teeth.
Implant patients avoid the common problems of removable
dentures, which can allow gums to recede, harbor food
between the dentures and the gum, and cause irritation
in the mouth.
What is an implant?
An implant is a man-made tooth root
which occupies the positions that your natural teeth
once held.
What are the benefits?
Implants provide ease of speech,
comfort, natural appearance, and the ability to chew
food properly for essential digestive processes. They
also restore necessary bone stimulation to prevent bone
loss.
Are implants only for denture wearers?
No. Implants allow dental patients
of all ages to replace missing teeth, whether they were
lost to disease or falling off a bicycle!
