If you are missing one or more teeth, you'll want replacements that are as natural as possible.  If dentures don't work for you, the dentists at Abbey Dental Center may consider dental implants.  Unlike dentures, which can be removed, implants are permanently anchored into the jaw itself.

Generally, our dentists feel you are a good candidate for implants if you have jawbone ridges that are in good shape and healthy oral tissues.  When the implant device is inserted into the jaw, a chemical  and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone actually grows into the implant.

With implants, you get a perfect fit, and they will look and feel as good as (or better than!) your original teeth.

The above photo illustrates the technique we often used for implants.  Please note; we coordinate with a specialist to make your implant process a success.
