| It's no fun when
you're missing teeth. You may not feel comfortable, eating or
speaking. You might even avoid smiling in public. Fortunately,
dental implants can help. Implants can replace a single tooth,
several teeth, or all teeth in your mouth. Best of all, they look
and feel like natural teeth. |

Implants Can Help
If you want a dental restoration that looks and feels as it's
really part of your mouth, dental implants may be right for you.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root.
Your jawbone fuses with the implant to provide a secure platform
for a prosthesis (artificial tooth). If you are missing many
teeth, several implants can be used to support a partial or
complete denture. |

When Teeth Are Missing
It can be embarrassing to have spaces in your mouth where teeth
are missing. But you're not alone. Some people lose teeth due to
injury, tooth decay, or periodontal disease (infection of the
gums and bones surrounding teeth). Others may not have had all
their teeth grow in. Whatever the reason, dental implants can
help replace missing teeth. And implants often feel more natural
then dentures and other dental restorations |
