Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

I notice teeth ALL the time because I work for and with a fabulous dentist! A healthy smile with attractive, natural looking teeth can give a person the confidence they really need at work, home and at play. Most of all, a great smile can give one the inner confidence they might otherwise be lacking.

Think about all the make-over shows that you see. Before the "big change" people either smile with their hand hiding their mouth or they don't smile at all. Imagine going your entire life without smiling for real! Or, maybe you have had a beautiful smile and a tooth is lost because of an accident. That can really do a number on your confidence level.

Modern dental implants help thousands of people regain their beautiful smiles and regardless of the cause of a lost tooth or teeth, dental implants can be a simple and lasting solution for restoring teeth. Missing teeth should be replaced for a number of different reasons. Even one missing tooth can lead to the loss of additional teeth and possibly even a change in your facial appearance. When a tooth is missing the adjacent teeth can collapse into the gap and the teeth in the opposing jaw can grow into the gap. When a tooth has been missing for a longer period of time there is often a loss of bone in the jaw.

A dental implant is an artificial root that serves as a replacement for missing teeth. Usually made of titanium, implants are biocompatible and do not trigger any allergic reactions. All-ceramic materials used in prosthetics are also 100% biocompatible.

Denture wearers rejoice!!! Dental implants may help eliminate some of the main problems you are facing with your dentures. Poor fit, gum irritation, pressure points, speech and taste impairment may be eliminated with dental implants. A removable prosthetic (denture) can be secured on two or more implants which help hold the denture securely in place...no more floating dentures!

What I am really trying to express to you is that dental implants really can change your life! Call Janet, Kyle, Lynne or myself to schedule a consultation with Dr. Berard and get started on a new fabulous smile.
