Dental Implants

You have several options to replace missing teeth. One of the most predictable and long lasting is a dental implant. Each implant features a small post that replaces a missing tooth root. Other prosthetics don’t replace the root of a tooth, but only the crown portion. Bridges, for example, are held in place by crowned teeth. Partials are attached with clasps, and dentures rest on the gums, held in place by adhesive or suction. Because implants actually anchor to the jaw, they mimic nature’s design and provide a durable, lifelike replacement option.

Once an implant post is placed, jawbone tissue naturally integrates with it to form a solid foundation for a replacement tooth. Dr. Putt can secure one replacement tooth to each implant post, or, if you need multiple teeth replaced, a few implants can secure a bridge, partial, or denture.

Dental implant patients experience renewed ability to chew crunchy and hard foods. Their sense of taste often improves, as well. Oral function becomes comfortable and dependable, and because implants look natural, self-confidence returns.

You deserve a complete smile that allows you to live life to the fullest. Ask about dental implants at your next visit with Dr. Putt, or schedule an implant consultation today.
