If you have missing or failing teeth due to decay or injury, dental implants are a great way to restore your smile and quality of life. Your teeth rely on the gums and jawbone to support them and that’s why replacing missing teeth is important to preventing further tooth loss, gum recession and bone atrophy. Fortunately, modern dentistry has developed several options for replacing missing or failing teeth. The All-On-4® technique, provides a solution for tooth loss by placing four dental implants in strategic locations in the upper or lower jawbone to permanently stabilize the prosthetic teeth. The implants will fuse to the jawbone, providing a durable long lasting smile.

While dental crowns may not have the luster of the crowns of royalty, they can have a powerful effect on saving your smile. Often when we don’t take proper care of our teeth, they can wear away and lose their strength and shape. There are a number of things that can contribute to tooth decay including skipping regular dental checkups, eating hard candy and not brushing one’s teeth.

We depend on our teeth for so many things. Chewing, biting, speaking, smiling, whistling, the list goes on. Despite how well we take care of our teeth with regular brushing and flossing, they can become chipped, cracked, or eventually worn down. Worse yet, tooth decay causes some people to lose their teeth all together. When this happens, the issue isn’t only cosmetic. If the structure of your teeth becomes compromised, it can affect the health of your entire mouth.
