Dental implants can replace missing teeth and teeth that are not salvageable. Implants function and feel like natural teeth. The implant body consists of a biologically compatible titanium post that is placed in the jawbone. Bone integrates with the implant providing a stable anchor to attach a tooth. Implants can support individual crowns, fixed bridges, partial dentures and complete dentures.
Careful treatment planning is important for implant success. Models of your mouth may be necessary, as well as a guide to show the surgeon where the implants are to be placed. Dr. LeVos works with highly skilled surgeons and laboratory ceramists and coordinates your implant treatment. Dental implants are safe, predictable and often times the most conservative way to replace teeth. For denture wearers, implants can end having to use adhesives and struggling with loose dentures that don’t stay in place.
