If you want to restore functionality to your teeth, dental implants represent the most logical choice. While other options exist for replacing missing teeth, none have proven more effective in terms of durability and function. Keep in mind that although implants are restorative, insurance often categorizes them as cosmetic or elective procedures.
Compared to bridges and dentures, dental implants offer greater strength and durability. They provide a permanent solution to tooth loss. Furthermore, implants can work alongside other restorative procedures for enhanced effectiveness. For instance, a single implant can support a crown to replace one missing tooth. Additionally, multiple implants can support a dental bridge or stabilize dentures, reducing gum tissue irritation.
Dr. Slater will discuss these options with you to identify the best system for your specific implant needs. We collaborate closely with an oral surgeon or periodontist, who will place the implant based on your requirements. After the implant integrates properly, Dr. Slater will place the final restoration in your mouth. If you are seeking the best in Aloha, please contact our office today to learn more!
