Dental Implants
Dental implants are the preferred way to replace a missing tooth or teeth. An implant actually refers to the underlying structure that a fixed (permanent) replacement tooth (or dentures) is secured to.
Dental Impants
It is like a replacement root for the tooth. The implant is made of titanium, or some type of strong ceramic, that is secured into the bone.
When most people use the term “implant,” however, they are referring to the entire process in which the implant is secured and a crown is placed over it. This procedure results in a secure and natural-looking replacement tooth.
The success rate for implants is extremely high, and for most people offers the best alternative to a natural tooth. However, not everyone is a candidate for implants. People need to have healthy bones and gums in order for an implant to succeed. Implants might not be suitable for heavy smokers and those with chronic disorders such as diabetes or heart disease. Your dentist will evaluate you to see if implants are suitable for you.
Dr. Ryan and his team are always friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful in their work. My previous experiences had mainly been with the hygienists, who are all excellent, but I had my first cavity and the procedure for a filling was nothing short of impressive. Quick and painless!
Definitely recommend Pike Creek Dental, exceptional service through out the entire practice I would describe myself as not the biggest fan of going to the dentist and I have no problem going here.
