Implant Dentistry
Single/Multiple Tooth Replacement
Versatile, strong and natural-looking, dental implants are permanent replacements for both the tooth and the root.
Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth or all teeth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your bone to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or denture. They are an ideal option for anyone who is in good general health and has lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease or injury.
Dental implants provide:
- Improved health
- Return the ability to bite and chew
- Form a comfortable bite
- Reduce chances of gum disease
- Enhanced aesthetics
- Improved speech
Dentures
As people age, some will lose a tooth or teeth from disease or injury. When a tooth is lost, it changes the bite, causing excess stress to be placed on the remaining teeth. This stress causes those teeth to wear unevenly, leading to jaw-related pain. Missing teeth can also change your facial appearance, resulting in a loss of confidence and embarrassment.
Dentures are the solution. A denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth and adjacent tissues. Made of resin and porcelain, complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth. When some healthy teeth remain, a partial denture can be used. A partial denture also keeps the remaining healthy teeth from shifting positions in the mouth.
Full and partial dentures improve chewing ability and speech, and support facial muscles. Dentures also enhance appearance.
Dr. Carpenter offers precision-fit dentures that do more than replace the teeth. They are fit “neuromuscularly,” meaning that they are precision-fit to provide the most optimum position for your jaw and bite. The results are attractive, secure dentures that allow you to speak, eat and smile with comfort and confidence.
