Dental Implant Restorations

If you’re missing teeth or require an extraction, you don’t have to live the rest of your life without them. There is a solution, and it doesn’t have to involve bridges, partials, or full dentures. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth and are an extremely durable restoration. Implants are also used to anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures to provide more stability.

What's a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are stabilized by a titanium post implanted into the jawbone for each missing tooth or for the implant that will support a bridge or denture. Then nature lends a hand and creates a solid foundation as your bone tissue fuses with the titanium post. Color-matched permanent crowns are then fitted to each post. Because dental implants imitate your natural teeth from the root up, they restore function, improve speech, add stability to existing teeth, and enhance oral health.

If you think dental implants might be right for you, call us to schedule a consultation. Dr. Dixson will do a thorough examination to determine whether you’re a candidate, as dental implants require sufficient bone structure to support the titanium anchor. If it turns out dental implants are right for you and this is the direction you decide to take, you can rest assured that your restoration will look and feel natural and, with proper care, could last a lifetime!
