1. You’re Missing One or More Teeth
If you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or extraction, leaving the gap untreated can cause neighboring teeth to shift and your bite to change. A single tooth implant replaces the missing tooth root and crown, helping restore both function and appearance.
2. You’re Tired of Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures
Traditional dentures can slip or cause discomfort, especially while eating or speaking. If this sounds familiar, you may benefit from implant dentures, which provide a secure fit by anchoring to dental implants.
3. You Have Difficulty Chewing Certain Foods
Missing or damaged teeth can make it hard to enjoy your favorite meals. Dental implants act like natural teeth, giving you the strength and stability to chew comfortably again.
4. You Want a More Natural-Looking Solution
Bridges and partials can sometimes feel bulky or artificial. Implants, however, are designed to look and feel like real teeth. With advanced planning through computer-guided implants, your results are precise and seamless.
5. You’re Experiencing Bone Loss in Your Jaw
Did you know that missing teeth can cause your jawbone to shrink over time? Because implants replace the tooth root, they stimulate the jawbone and help prevent further bone loss. In some cases, a bone and ridge augmentation may be recommended first to prepare your jaw for successful implant placement.
