Implant Dentistry
Start a new way of living.
A unique solution to a troublesome problem.
Life's simple pleasures can cause problems and pain for the millions of adults
who suffer from permanent tooth loss. Men and women of all ages are self-conscious
about their dentures, bridges or missing teeth. Some have difficulty speaking
because their dentures slip or click. For others, the irritation and pain caused
by dentures are constant reminders of the limitations they feel. Many are concerned
about their appearance and may feel that their tooth loss has "aged them" before
their time. Some regularly decline invitations to social events because they
are unwilling to face the uncertainties of eating, speaking and laughing in
public. Many can no longer enjoy their favorite foods, nor the social interaction
with family and friends that accompanies special meals.
Now, more and more people are putting an end to these problems by choosing dental implants, a revolutionary way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants offer an excellent alternative to the limitations of conventional dentures, bridges and missing teeth. Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
Why are people choosing dental implants?

The survey found:
- Dental implant use has nearly tripled since 1986 and is expected to continue to rise rapidly.
- People of all ages are turning to dental implants to replace a single tooth, several teeth or a full set of dentures
The leading reasons cited for choosing dental implants were:
- To restore normal eating and speaking abilities
- To Ehance
facial appearance and confidence

According to the survey, the reasons for the increased demand are:
- Growing public awareness of the significant functional and aesthetic advantages of dental implants over conventional dentures and bridges.
- The availability of data on the long-term success of dental implants.
Experts predict that the demand for the procedure will continue to grow as people become more familiar with the benefits of dental implants.
