The great pretender: A realistic solution for a real problem

Dental implants are durable ways to restore your smile.

In our lifetimes, it’s not unusual to lose a tooth due to decay or injury. But when a tooth is lost, the jaw begins to break down. The longer the tooth is missing, the greater the breakdown.

There are options for replacing missing teeth, but if you’re looking to replicate the natural function and appearance of your lost teeth, there is now another choice. Historically, dentures or bridge restorations would be used as replacements; while these continue to be good options, each has their drawbacks. However, dental implants are natural-looking replacement teeth that provide the same function as your natural tooth root.

Most adults can be candidates for dental implants. Check out Dental Implants: Smile with Confidence to learn more about the benefits of dental implants for your health and your smile.

Flyers are available in Spanish as well.
