Dental implants are a fantastic option for people that are missing teeth. No one likes to wear anything that they have to take in and take out every night if they can avoid it. And with dental implants, you get that safety of just having something that’s fixed and permanently in there that they don’t have to worry about other than coming in to get it cleaned. As long as they’re taking care of their teeth every day, you know, it functions almost like a normal tooth.
And so, those are great options for folks that are missing one, two, or several teeth just to get their chewing power back or, you know, their smile back. Sometimes people are missing teeth in the front. We can also replace those teeth with dental implants. The other advantage of having dental implants is we don’t have to drill on or touch any of the teeth next to the tooth that we’re restoring.
And so, if you’re just missing one tooth, instead of doing an old school bridge where we have to drill every tooth next to that empty space, we can just put an implant there. And we don’t have to touch any of the other teeth. So it’s a great option in various aspects. And, you know, every situation is different, but they’re kind of the standard of care now. And they’re a great service that we provide here.
