Dental Implants Long Lasting and Why?

Probably one of the questions we are asked the most often, is what is the best solution for a missing tooth or a badly broken tooth?

The answer normally is: A Dental Implant! A dental implant is the long lasting solution, and one that will put a smile on your face! An implant is the most predictable way to replace a missing tooth. Unlike traditional bridges that require preparation of the adjacent teeth, an implant restored area does no damage to surrounding teeth! The implant is a root shaped titanium fixture that is placed in the bone. Titanium is highly biocompatible, so that the natural bone grows in intimate contact with the implant. (Osseo-integration)  When this happens, the implant becomes rock solid, which is what you want, and we want to occur! There are many options for how a dental implant is used, and we invite you to contact the office and you can even talk to Dr. Miller, be sure to send us an e-mail as well.
