Living without a front tooth affects more than how a smile looks. Eating transfers to the other teeth, surrounding teeth migrate across the opening, and the ridge that formerly supported the natural root begins to recede.
Our practice is situated on South Eola Road in Aurora and sees people from Montgomery and the neighboring communities.
<strong>What Makes Implants Stand Apart From Bridges</strong>

A traditional bridge depends on reducing neighboring teeth to anchor it. One traditional appliance rests over the ridge and offers nothing for the bone beneath it.
A dental implant takes the place of the root directly. Since it integrates with the jawbone, it continues to stimulate that area the way a natural tooth did.
<strong>Full Arch Arch Treatment</strong>

Those who have lived with a removable denture for years often describe the very same frustrations: slipping while eating, pastes that never really solve it, and favorite foods they have set up.
Implant supported arches fix to a limited number of posts set in the arch. Some approaches stay patient removable for cleaning; some are permanent in place.
<strong>The Way Care Generally Proceeds</strong>
The process starts with imaging to measure bone volume and map anatomy prior to treatment is planned. Where bone is insufficient, bone grafting or a sinus treatment may be recommended beforehand.
Placement itself takes considerably less chair time than most first timers anticipate. Integration follows during a number of weeks and months as the implant fuses with surrounding bone, and the permanent tooth is fitted after integration.
<strong>Questions Regarding Cost</strong>
The pricing depends widely depending on how many teeth are treated and whether or not preparatory work is necessary. The exam with imaging is the one means to give a meaningful figure, and we remain clear about that prior to treatment starts.
