TOOTH vs. IMPLANT

1

State of the art tooth replacement

Dental implants are considered todays gold standard for tooth replacement. Your own bone can solidly attach to them and they can’t have tooth decay therefore, they last longer than any other tooth-replacement option.

Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that deteriorates when a tooth is lost.

The surgical procedure used to place an implant is actually quite minor and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases.

After a healing period, the implant is topped with a lifelike crown custom-made to match your existing natural teeth.

Implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is significantly higher than other tooth-replacement options.
