Charlotte Dentist: Implants

Implants

the most interesting and advanced dental restoration is the implant.  patients used to resort to dentures when losing teeth.  now, we can place the tooth using a material integrates into the bone mimicking the root of the tooth, which ultimately supports a crown mimicking the crown of a tooth.  implants for single tooth and multiple teeth are shown to have 98% success and 90% success with smokers. 

there are also advantages for patients who don’t want to have single or multiple tooth supported implants but just want a few implants to support their dentures.  implants help dentures by giving stability and increasing patients comfort and confidence.
