Lifetime Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants

Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, Dr. Wygant can provide a permanent solution to give you a natural-looking, lifelong smile. Modern dental implant solutions offer the most reliable, cost effective, and lasting tooth replacement treatment available today. Every year, more than half a million people get dental implants placed. That’s not a surprising number considering that nearly 100 million people and two-thirds of middle-aged adults have lost at least one tooth.

Long-Term Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Strong and stable, functions like a natural tooth
  • Beautifully matches your natural teeth
  • Designed to last a lifetime
  • No more removing teeth, slurring speech or limiting food choices
  • No impact to surrounding teeth
  • Preserves existing jawbone

Why are dental implants quickly becoming the most popular tooth replacement solution?

Implants provide a long-lasting solution

Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. Through the process of osseointegration, the titanium used in your dental implant biologically fuses with your bone, spurring bone growth to strengthen your jawbone, and ensuring lasting results. The implant essentially plants new roots in your jaw to help maintain your facial shape and provide long-term bite stabilization.

Implants are cost-effective

Implants may involve a higher investment on the front end, but they also provide a much greater return over the life of your smile. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime as opposed to replacing bridges or dentures every 7 to 15 years.

Implants look great

Dental implants are custom-shaped and shaded to fit naturally in your existing smile. In terms of beauty, strength, and function, the only difference between your real teeth and dental implants is that they’re not real. But thankfully, no one will know.

Implants promote oral health

Unlike the teeth you were born with, modern implants do not decay or get cavities. Bacteria and food particles still need to be brushed away to maintain healthy gums, but oral hygiene is much easier as implants behave like normal teeth. Also, unlike a tooth-supported bridge, dental implants do not require reducing other teeth to support the implant. With more of your teeth left intact, implants lead to better long-term oral health.

Dental implants offer a cost-effective, long-lasting, health-focused, and beautiful solution for missing teeth. If restoring your smile is something you’ve considered, we’d love to talk to you about your personalized treatment plan.

Debunked: Popular Misconceptions about Dental Implants

Implants provide a long-lasting solution

Although osteoporosis and other age-related jawbone issues impact how implant treatment is accomplished, implants are designed for patients of all ages. If you’ve spent many years dealing with the challenges of dentures, now may be the time for you to experience permanent tooth replacement.

“I’m too old.”

Implants may involve a higher investment on the front end, but they also provide a much greater return over the life of your smile. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime as opposed to replacing bridges or dentures every 7 to 15 years.

“They’re painful.”

With our wide offering of modern sedation and/or anesthesia, the treatment itself will be pain-free. You may experience some tenderness for a few days following surgery, but we have some simple solutions to help you through it. The discomfort will soon be gone and you’ll have a permanent tooth in its place.

“Any dentist will do.”

Not all dentists have the advanced education and clinical skill to effectively place dental implants. Proper implant treatment requires a clinical professional who has invested the time to master the intricacies of precision implant dentistry. Dr. Wygant has such clinical training, and actively pursues ongoing training to stay up to date with the latest techniques and technology.
