Implant dentistry

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root placed into your jaw to hold a replacement crown or bridge in place. The treatment can be more conservative than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. Dental implant restorations are so natural looking and feeling that you may forget you ever lost a tooth. Dental implants can be the best solution to the problem of missing teeth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they can prevent bone loss and gum recession that often accompanies bridgework and dentures.

Benefits of Implant dentistry with Dr. Sanders include:
Cost effective: because only one tooth is replaced rather than the three teeth of a bridge, dental implant tooth replacement can actually cost less than the traditional bridgework.
Tooth-saving: Dental implants do not sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant. Your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health.
Comfort: Dental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence. They are secure and can offer freedom from dentures.
Reliability: The success rate for dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement.

Depending upon the specific condition and the type of implant chosen, Dr. Sanders will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.

Dental implants can replace a single tooth, many teeth or all teeth.
