  1. True or False: They can prevent loss of jawbone density.
  2. True or False: We top them with natural looking restorations.
  3. True or False: We can address multiple lost teeth.
  4. True or False: We can offer teeth-in-a-day.

Answer Key

  1. True. Did you know that tooth loss can lead to the deterioration of the jawbone around the missing teeth? The body stops sending key nutrients to the jawbone once it registers a lack of tooth root. Losing jawbone density can lead to an aged appearance, as well as further tooth loss. Fortunately, dental implants act as new tooth roots, causing the body to resume these critical doses of calcium and phosphorus, preserving your facial stricture.
  2. True. The implant portion acts as a new root, while a restoration replaces the visible portion. We use custom dental crowns to accomplish this. Ceramic looks natural and is stain-resistant and durable as well. Your restoration will blend seamlessly with your smile.
  3. True. We can place two or more implants to secure a dental bridge. We can also use multiple ones to anchor a fixed partial or full denture as well. We can address advanced tooth loss and offer prosthetics that won’t slip when you eat or speak.
  4. True. For patients that qualify, All-on-4 can allow us to provide lifelike implant dentures in a single visit.
