Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation (are actually the roots for a tooth) for replacement of teeth. With implants the teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence. Those wearing partials or even full dentures are often the most improved after implants are placed to hold them securely. No more “Polygrip”, “Fixodent”, or other “denture glue”!
