Missing Teeth
Are you feeling self conscious because missing teeth are causing unappealing gaps in your smile? Are you unable to enjoy certain foods because of missing teeth or poor fitting dentures? If, so dental implants might be the answer for you.
Dental implants are a more natural looking option compared to partial dentures or bridges because implants look and feel just like your own teeth. And dental implants can be used to improve the fit and retention of those poor fitting dentures. They also allow you to speak and eat with comfort and confidence.
This procedure consists of an artificial tooth root being placed into your jaw, and after a healing period, an artificial tooth is attached to the artificial root. In most cases a temporary tooth can be placed in the area of the missing tooth during this healing period.
During your implant consultation with Dr Hodges he will review the dental implant process in detail for your case and discuss the necessary steps in replacing the missing teeth with dental implants. You will have ample opportunity to ask any questions that you may have concerning your treatment options and dental implants.
