Dental Implants

When permanent teeth are lost, regardless of the reason or number of teeth, dental implants can be used in their replacement. They are considered to be the 'ideal' in tooth replacement because they are long-lasting, esthetic, and most closely resemble having your natural teeth back. After nearly 35 years of use, they have a 90-97% proven success rate in appropriately chosen cases.

Our office is committed to the most advanced tooth replacement systems available. Dr. Denzler is experienced in restoring implants and works in conjunction with a periodontist specializing in dental implant placement. Our team approach assures that you will receive the best in implant restoration.

An implant is a special surgical grade titanium post, manufactured to highly precise specifications, under strict sterile conditions, that is inserted surgically into the jawbone below the gum surface. With proper use of the newest anesthetics and medications you need not be concerned about pain. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation onto which your new teeth are then attached. The number of teeth being replaced will determine the best kind of restoration for you. Implants can help replace a single tooth, or a full set of teeth. If you have partial or full dentures, dental implants can be used to secure your denture and greatly improve its stability and retention.

Dental implants can prevent a chain reaction of problems that can affect the entire mouth. They are a conservative approach to restoring your smile and do not require treatment on the adjacent teeth, as most other tooth replacement procedures do. They are also easier to maintain hygienically, than the other replacement options. Equally important, an implant will stop the progression of bone loss that occurs after a tooth is lost. This is not only important for the adjacent teeth, but also for esthetic reasons, since bone helps to support the check, lip and facial structures, thereby preserving a more youthful appearance.
