Dental implants are becoming more popular in today's dental society for a number of reasons. Implants are utilized to offer patients a foundation for new restorative teeth where natural teeth are missing or have been extracted. The implant offers the patient the opportunity to regain normal function of the tooth without being forced to resort to a bridge or a denture.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that acts a substitute for the root of a missing tooth. Overtime the implant "bonds" with the bone and acts as an anchor for the replacement of a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an anchor for a fixed or traditional bridge.

Listed below are the many benefits of dental implants.

1. The implant will preserve & bond to the existing bone
   
2. They look and feel closer to your natural teeth than bridges or dentures
3. Restored Function - implants facilitate proper chewing and speech
4. You don't need to sacrifice existing teeth such as with a bridge
5. Implants will boost your confidence while supporting a denture to minimize movement & improve appearance
6. They are reliable and have high success rates & longevity

Dental implants may be the right choice for anyone who is missing a tooth or teeth due to decay, disease or injury. Dr Koehl and Dr. Hall can help determine if you are the right candidate for dental implants.
