If you are
missing one or more teeth, you'll want replacements that are
as natural as possible. If dentures don't work for you, you
may consider dental implants. Unlike dentures, which can be
removed, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw
itself.
Usually Dr. Brace feels you are a good candidate for implants
if you have jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy
oral tissues. When the implant device is inserted into the
jaw, a chemical and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone
actually grows into the implant.
With implants, Dr. Brace can get you a perfect fit, and they
will look and feel as good as (or better than!) your original
teeth. |
