New Patients Welcome!
Dental Implants in Danville
If a tooth is extracted or missing for some other reason, it is now possible to replace it using dental implants placed surgically in our office. An implant is like a new tooth made of metal and porcelain that looks just like your natural tooth. It's composed of two main parts: One is the titanium implant body that takes the place of the missing root. The second is the tooth-colored crown cemented on top of the implant. In addition to tooth replacement, implants may anchor dentures, especially lower ones that tend to shift when you talk or chew. For patients with removable partial dentures, implants can replace missing teeth so that you have a more natural-looking smile.
Benefits of Dental implants
The benefits of dental implants are far more extensive than you'd think. While you'll learn from our office exactly why so many patients are choosing them over traditional methods of tooth replacement, we encourage you to read about just a few of the advantages of dental implants over bridges and dentures before your consultation. Feel free to contact us directly to schedule an appointment and learn more about the long-term oral and overall health benefits of choosing dental implants to rebuild your smile!
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
No matter how many teeth you’re missing, we can use dental implants to rebuild smiles in 99% of patients. After examining your mouth, he can discuss the following restorative options and determine which one is best for you:
Missing Single Tooth
A personalized crown can be placed on top of a single implant post inserted into the jaw. The neighboring teeth won't need to be altered, and the crown will be meticulously shaped and shaded to blend in with your smile.
Missing multiple teeth
To replace several missing teeth in a row, a dental bridge can be placed on two dental implants at either end of the gap in your grin. This solution is much more stable and durable than a traditional bridge.
Missing all teeth
Even an entire mouthful of lost teeth can be brought back with dental implants. All it takes is four to eight implant posts placed along the jaw to secure a full denture. An implant-retained denture doesn’t slip around or require messy adhesives or a special cleaning regimen; it will feel as if you had never lost any teeth in the first place!
