Dental Implants
Are you missing teeth or wearing old, uncomfortable dentures? Do metal bridges compromise the appearance of your smile? Dental implants are a stronger, more natural-looking alternative to bridges, dentures, and partials.
Dr Jeff Lynch, who was awarded Fellowship status in the prestigious International Congress of Oral Implantologists for accomplishments related to both placing and restoring dental implants, will take you through this process. After an examination, the first step involves placing the implant, which is a man made tooth root, where the previous root used to be. Dr. Lynch can place a single dental implant or several to anchor a bridge or denture. Bone tissue naturally fuses to the implant, creating a strong, permanent foundation for the replacement tooth or prosthetic appliance.
After an examination, Dr Lynch can tell you what your customized plan would involve to replace your missing teeth with dental implants. The dental implant is basically a man made tooth root that a tooth, or teeth, can be attached to. After the implant is carefully positioned where the root used to be, the bone grows to it. This creates the solid foundation onto which your new tooth or teeth will be attached.
Once the dental implant site has healed, the dentist will secure a handcrafted crown to the titanium post. If your case requires an implant-secured denture, partial, or bridge, we will place it before you leave the office. Prosthetic appliances are not fixed, but removable, so you can take them out at home. The replacement tooth or prosthetic will promote a comfortable bite and will blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
By replacing not only the tooth but the root as well, dental implants closely mimic nature. Patients enjoy restored function, speech, and confidence. If maintained properly with regular checkups, cleanings, and daily oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime, so you can spend more time enjoying your smile and less time in the dentist’s chair.
There are many implant systems out there. Many are supported with great marketing campaigns. You may have read about the miracle of getting your "Teeth in a Day". Beware. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We use a system that was designed by the leading pioneer of Implant Dentistry, Dr Carl Misch, and brilliant engineers, not a marketing department. Our system is designed for the most predictable, strongest, longest lasting outcome possible. And there are countless studies that prove this.
