Dental Implants – Leveraging What You Have

At ConfiDENT, we like to focus on what’s positive and good about your dental health. Our optimistic outlook for your mouth and dental health gives us the confidence that we can focus on what you do have, rather than focusing on what you’re missing. Dental implants are one way that we can leverage what you do have for your advantage.

If you’re missing a tooth or teeth, the focus may be on the gap that is created by the missing tooth. While this is a legitimate concern and often a visual disadvantage, our doctors at ConfiDENT realize that that missing tooth is an opportunity for victory! What most patients do have is a healthy jawbone that will hold your dental implant in its place so it can securely hold your new crown in its place. Our dental professionals will determine if you can benefit from a dental implant for your tooth loss. Another exception for dental implants is if you are still growing.

Dental implants can be used to support one or two missing teeth in your mouth. They work similar in function to the root of your tooth. They are used to anchor a single tooth, several teeth or a mouthful of teeth. After your implant is fused into your jawbone, a crown will be placed to fill the gap of your missing tooth and offer you a confident smile!
