Dental implants may be the right solution for you, if:
You want to replace one or more of your teeth.
Missing teeth can lead to bad oral health and facial structure changes. Therefore, receiving dental implants will restore your smile and revitalize your confidence. We can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth with natural-looking implants. We guarantee that our patients will love their new smiles.
You want to improve your health.
Having a full set of healthy teeth makes it easier to maintain good oral health both at home and during dental hygiene appointments. This will reduce the risk of infections caused by missing teeth. With fully restored teeth, you’re likely to smile more, and we’ve found that there are many health benefits of smiling. These include the releasing of endorphins to reduce stress and enhance your mood.
You want to gain more freedom and confidence in your life.
Dental implants will eliminate the embarrassment you might feel in social situations. You’ll no longer feel the need to hide your teeth from your family and friends. Feeling comfortable with how your teeth look will make you want to smile more, and leads to a boost in self-esteem. Dental implants will also allow you to talk and eat freely without pain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is an ideal candidate for dental implants?
Most people are good candidates for the dental implant surgery, however, our dentist will thoroughly examine your oral health to determine if you meet the requirements. For example, you’ll need to have good overall oral health to ensure the surgery is successful.
The best way to determine eligibility is to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists by calling (314) 762-6784. During the consultation, we’ll examine your oral health and create a customized treatment plan that will address any needs prior to the dental implant procedure.
For your convenience, we also offer mini dental implants and All-on-4 dental implants. These solutions tout faster recovery time and are less invasive than traditional dental implants. During your consultation, we’ll explain the benefits of these procedures so you can make an informed decision.
Can you be too old for dental implants?
No, you can’t be too old for dental implants, but you can be too young for dental implants. We recommend that patients wait until their jawbone is fully developed to avoid complications. Dental implants are the preferred method for tooth replacement because they can last a lifetime.
Unlike other restoration procedures, dental implants actually increase your bone density, thereby preventing deterioration. You won’t have slippage or difficulty speaking like with traditional dentures and you’ll quickly become accustomed to their natural look and feel.
We have several dental implant solutions to fit your needs. If you’re interested in discussing which treatment option would be best for you, contact our St. Louis office to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.
