An Implant has been recommended for me. Why?

In dentistry, we have been placing implants to replace missing teeth since the 1950’s.  As time has gone on, the type of implant has evolved to become one of the most predictable and common procedures. Success rates for implants now top 97%. The simplicity and success of the procedure have made implants a genuinely mainstream procedure.

Implants are made out of various materials: titanium, zirconium, and ceramics.  The surgery usually involves one or two appointments, which surprisingly are exceptionally pain free.
Once the implant body fuses to the surrounding bone, it can then be restored to become a functional addition to your mouth.

The dental implant offers the patient a wonderful opportunity to achieve the normal function of the tooth, without forcing them to resort to a bridge or denture.  If you have loose dentures, missing teeth, or just want a more permanent solution, an implant may be the best option for you.

Am I a candidate for an implant?

Implants are used to replace missing teeth. Not everyone is a candidate, though.  There are many variables involved that need to be evaluated to determine if a particular tooth can be replaced in this manner.  Some of these variables include quantity, quality and shape of bone, amount of space, location in the mouth, condition of adjacent teeth, time constraints, general health of the patient, and finances.  The doctors at LaserDentalAssociates.com examine all the variables to best advise you if an implant is your best alternative.

If I am not an implant candidate, are there other options?  Yes!

After careful examination, evaluation and frank discussion, if we determine that an implant is not in your best interests, other options may be discussed including “conventional” cemented dental bridges, orthodontics, and removable partials and dentures.  Our professional staff is happy to discuss all the pros and cons of all these other options with you.
