Dental implants replace both the root and crown of a missing tooth, offering the closest thing to a natural tooth. Here are five signs it may be time to consider them.
1. You have one or more missing teeth
Even a single gap can cause neighboring teeth to shift over time. An implant fills the space and preserves your bite.
2. You're tired of removable dentures
Implant-supported restorations stay firmly in place — no adhesives, no slipping while you eat or speak.
3. You have a failing or cracked tooth
When a tooth can't be saved, an implant is often a stronger long-term choice than a bridge.
4. You want to protect your jawbone
The root portion of an implant stimulates the bone, helping prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss.
5. You're in good general oral health
Healthy gums and adequate bone make you an excellent candidate. During a consultation we'll take images and map out your options.
