Dental Implants Your Way

I get the same question just about every day. Do dental implants really work? Well, the answer is a resounding YES!

With proper diagnosis and treatment planning dental implants in the right patient can provide a real alternative to either bridges or even removable prostheses. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more lost teeth in a wide variety of ways.

Dental implants, as they are currently placed, have been done now for over twenty years with outstanding success rates in the correct hands. Every system can be abused and horror stories abound about nightmares faced by dental implant patients. For the most part, these types of stories are probably related to poor diagnostic and clinical skills on the part of the dentist or an unhealthy patient. When placed by a skilled dentist in a healthy patient, dental implants are highly successful and can provide years of support for a healthy dentition.
