Dental Implants

The Preferred Choice for Tooth Replacement

When you need to replace missing teeth, you want something as close to natural teeth as possible. Dental implants represent the state-of-the-art in dental technology, making it possible to restore your smile to its natural state. Dental implants are the only solution that replaces the entire missing tooth and preserves the supporting bone, making them the preferred choice over fixed bridges or removable dentures.

Dental Implant Overview

The dental implants used by most dentists and dental specialists today are root-form implants. This basically means that they are replacement, or substitute tooth roots, used to replace natural tooth roots in areas of the mouth where teeth are missing.
The reason it is so important to replace the tooth root and not just the visible part of the tooth (crown) is that natural tooth roots, which are embedded in the bone, preserve the bone.
When teeth are missing, the bone that previously supported those teeth melts away, or deteriorates. This process is called bone resorption. The impact of deteriorating bone from complete tooth loss includes collapsed facial profiles, lost lip support, increased wrinkles around the mouth and the appearance of a pointed nose and chin that are too close together.
However, the bone can be preserved by replacing missing tooth roots with dental implants. Since the bone actually forms a strong bond to the implants, they can serve the same functions as natural tooth roots: a strong foundation for biting and chewing, and stimulation for the bone to hold it in place.
Dental implants are small fixtures made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is not rejected by the body. With an overall success rate of about 95%, and over 50 years of clinical research, dental implants have the best long-term prognosis of any method of tooth replacement.

Patient Experiences

"When I first went to see Dr. Workman I was even embarrassed to smile for him. Due to gum disease all my front teeth had shifted. I had seen several dentists who offered no hope save to pull them. Dr. Workman worked out several options for me to choose. I couldn't believe how wonderful and straight my teeth were when I first saw my new smile. During the entire process he made me feel comfortable."
